When a car experiences a collision resulting in damage to both the engine and the passenger compartment, it can be defined as a total loss. If the car body has been burned by fire, with the burned area exceeding 60% of the body, it can also be defined as a total loss. Once defined as a total loss, the insurance company will provide corresponding compensation based on the extent of liability.

If the front bumper does not stop on the pole line but remains within the 1.3-meter safety zone, a deduction of 100 points is applied if the error exceeds 50 cm. Below are relevant details: 1. Introduction: Subject 2, also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment.

What does Level 3 water-damaged vehicle mean?

Level 3 water-damaged vehicle means the floodwater has almost completely submerged the tires, at which point the water level inside the vehicle will fully immerse both the seat cushions and center console area, while also affecting numerous electrical components. Below are relevant details: 1. Classification: Level 1 is referred to as "water ingress vehicle," indicating flood depth below the chassis; Level 2 is termed "water-damaged vehicle," meaning flood depth above the chassis but below the dashboard; Level 3 is called "submerged vehicle," indicating severe flooding where water reaches above the dashboard or even submerges the roof. 2. Hazards: This condition can easily cause rusting of body components, shortening the vehicle's lifespan and compromising safety performance. For instance, water immersion leads to corrosion and rusting of electrical wiring, potentially causing sudden engine shutdowns or spontaneous combustion due to short circuits while driving, with unimaginable consequences.

What to Do If There Are Small Bubbles in Car Film?

Whether it's a full-body film or window film, small bubbles will not have any impact. After a period of use, these small bubbles will disappear on their own, so there is no need to worry at all, and they will not affect usage. The appearance of small bubbles is a relatively normal occurrence during the film application process. More related information is as follows: 1. Vehicle window film needs to be applied to the front windshield, rear windshield, and the windows of the vehicle's four doors. The film applied to vehicle windows can be called sun film, heat-insulating film, explosion-proof film, etc. Its main functions are to block ultraviolet rays, prevent injuries to passengers in case of glass breakage, and provide good aesthetics and privacy. 2. It can be used directly after application and will not affect the annual inspection of the motor vehicle. However, it is important to note that the window film should be applied after the vehicle's registration is completed and not before. Also, the color of the applied window film should not be too dark, as this may reduce visibility at night.

Subject 2: Should You Pull the Handbrake or Shift Gears First When Getting Out of the Car?

After completing the driving test for Subject 2, when getting out of the car, you can first shift to neutral and then pull the handbrake. Of course, you can also pull the handbrake first and then shift to neutral. There are no specific requirements for this sequence, and you can operate according to personal habits. Just remember not to forget to pull the handbrake and shift to neutral. Below is the relevant introduction: 1. Handbrake: The professional term for the handbrake is the auxiliary brake. Unlike the principle of the main brake, it uses a steel wire cable connected to the rear brake shoes to brake the car. Long-term use of the handbrake will cause the steel wire to undergo plastic deformation. Since this deformation is irreversible, long-term use will reduce its effectiveness, and the handbrake's travel will also increase. 2. Return Spring: The handbrake is also used in conjunction with a return spring. When the handbrake is pulled for braking, the spring is stretched; when the handbrake is released, the spring returns to its original length. Long-term use of the handbrake will also cause corresponding deformation in the spring.
