Does the motorcycle compulsory traffic insurance have to be purchased by the owner in person?

Compulsory traffic insurance does not necessarily have to be handled by the owner in person; it can also be handled by the user of the motor vehicle. To apply for compulsory traffic insurance, you need to bring: the vehicle's registration certificate and driving license, the insured's ID card, and for renewal, the original copy of the previous year's compulsory traffic insurance. Compulsory traffic insurance is mandatory by the state, and only with it can you legally drive on the road. Otherwise, according to the "Road Traffic Safety Law," the traffic management department of the public security authorities shall detain the motor vehicle, notify the party to provide the corresponding license, mark, or complete the relevant procedures, and may issue a warning or impose a fine of not less than 20 yuan but not more than 200 yuan. Automobile compulsory traffic insurance: The full name of compulsory traffic insurance is "Compulsory Liability Insurance for Motor Vehicle Traffic Accidents." It is a mandatory liability insurance where the insurance company compensates within the liability limit for personal injury, death, and property loss caused by road traffic accidents involving the insured motor vehicle (excluding vehicle personnel and the insured). The premium is based on the nationally unified standard rates. However, the price of compulsory traffic insurance varies for different vehicle types, mainly influenced by the number of car seats. Compared to the more than 20 exemption clauses of commercial third-party insurance, the exemption scope of compulsory traffic insurance covers losses caused by intentional acts of the victim, the insured's own property loss, related arbitration and litigation costs, and some indirect losses caused by accidents, with a much broader coverage. Moreover, regardless of whether the insured vehicle is at fault in the accident, compulsory traffic insurance will compensate within the liability limit, with no deductible or exemption.

Can the Door Be Locked If It's Not Properly Closed?

If the car door is not properly closed, it cannot be locked. When the door is not fully closed, the car's dashboard will display a warning. If the car is powered on, the dashboard will indicate which door is not properly closed. If the car is turned off and the door is not properly closed, using the key to lock the car will not work because the vehicle's computer does not receive the lock signal. Depending on the car model, the locking behavior may vary—some models will still complete the locking action, but if the door is open, it effectively remains unlocked. Some models do not emit a beep or flash the lock indicator light if the door is not properly closed. Additionally, certain models feature a keyless entry system where the door locks automatically unlock when the key is near the car, disabling the anti-theft mode. When the key moves away from the car beyond a certain distance, the doors automatically lock and the anti-theft mode is activated.

How to Judge the Left and Right Distance While Driving

Driving left and right distance can be judged by the distance between the wheels and the lane markings on the road. If the position of the wheels is about to touch the markings on the ground, it indicates that the car is relatively close. During driving, it is necessary to pay attention to the distance between the vehicles on both sides to avoid scraping. The specific methods for judging the left and right distance while driving are: 1. Judgment of the left position: When the line of sight coincides with the protruding node of the left wiper and an object on the ground, the left wheel will run over the object when moving. When driving normally, it is relatively safe to be 60 cm away from the center line. When the line of sight coincides with the intersection of the cotton panel and the A-pillar and the center line, the body is exactly 60 cm away from the center line; 2. Judgment of the right position: When the line of sight coincides with the right wiper and the target, the tire will run over the target.

Is 0W40 Oil a Multi-Season Oil?

0W40 oil is a multi-season oil, where 0W indicates the oil's cold-start performance. The smaller the number, the better the oil's cold resistance. The oil serves to lubricate and reduce friction, assist in cooling, seal against leaks, prevent rust and corrosion, absorb shocks, and resist wear. The steps for changing the oil are: 1. Lift the car, remove the underbody panel, and place a container of about 10 liters under the oil drain plug; 2. Unscrew the oil drain plug and use an air gun to blow into the oil filler port for two minutes; 3. After draining, tighten the oil drain plug and wipe it with a tissue to check for leaks; 4. Reinstall the underbody panel, lower the car, and use a funnel to add oil through the filler port.

What Causes the Smell of Gasoline After Starting the Car?

Reasons for smelling gasoline after starting the car include: 1. Possible fuel leakage from the fuel tank or fuel lines; 2. Aging rubber hoses in the engine compartment allowing gasoline fumes to enter the cabin through the air conditioning system; 3. Poor sealing or uncleaned residues after disassembling the fuel pump; 4. Leakage from the fuel vapor canister or fuel pump rubber seal. Fuel tanks can be categorized into open-type and closed-type tanks, with their functions as follows: 1. Open-type tanks have a simple structure and are easy to install and maintain, commonly used in hydraulic systems; 2. Closed-type tanks are pressurized tanks filled with inert gas, serving as specialized containers in hydraulic systems to store hydraulic oil or fluid, providing functions such as heat dissipation, separating air bubbles from the oil, and settling impurities.

What to Do When the Oil Pressure Warning Light Comes On?

The methods to address the oil pressure warning light coming on are: 1. Pull out the oil dipstick to check if the oil level is sufficient and whether there is gasoline or water in the oil, and add or replace the oil if necessary; 2. While the engine is running, inspect all parts for any oil leaks; 3. Check whether the oil pressure sensor and oil pressure gauge are functioning properly; 4. Examine the lubrication system oil pressure; 5. Inspect and adjust the assembly clearance of the crankshaft main bearings and connecting rod bearings. The functions of engine oil are: 1. To reduce friction and high temperatures; 2. To cool and lower temperatures; 3. To clean and remove contaminants; 4. To cushion and absorb shocks; 5. To prevent rust and corrosion. Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant, is composed of base oil and additives. The base oil is the main component of the lubricant, determining its fundamental properties, while the additives compensate for and improve any deficiencies in the base oil's performance.
