After your new car is scratched, you can claim compensation from the other party by verifying their documents. Below are the specific steps to claim compensation when the other party is fully at fault: 1. Negotiation: If the accident occurs on the road, immediately turn on your hazard lights and set up warning signs behind your vehicle to prevent secondary accidents. If there is heavy traffic and vehicles are moving at high speeds, move to a safe area before negotiating. 2. Collect Evidence: Take photos of the accident scene. Modern smartphones have powerful cameras, so take as many photos as possible. Capture both wide-angle and close-up shots of the collision location. Wide-angle shots should ideally show which party was at fault for the accident. For close-ups, take multiple angles around the scene, focusing on the collision point to demonstrate the impact and the extent of damage to both vehicles. 3. Verify Documents: Check the other party's documents, including their vehicle registration, driver's license, and the validity of their compulsory insurance. Also, check if they are driving under the influence of alcohol. If the other party is driving without a license or under the influence, protect the scene and call the police immediately. If all documents are in order and both parties agree on liability, the at-fault party should call their insurance company to file a claim.

Are cars generally front-wheel drive or rear-wheel drive?

Domestic cars are typically front-wheel drive vehicles. Front-wheel drive vehicles: Automakers primarily consider the price of the vehicle. Compared to rear-wheel drive vehicles, the design and assembly costs of front-wheel drive are lower than those of rear-wheel drive vehicles. This type of car does not require a rear drive axle, and the assembly of the rear transmission is relatively smaller. The braking distance and fuel economy of front-wheel drive vehicles are relatively better than those of rear-wheel drive vehicles. Additionally, front-wheel drive vehicles increase the interior space of the car, eliminating the need to reserve space for rear-wheel drive components, thus providing more rear space. The biggest drawback of front-wheel drive vehicles is their lighter weight, as control is concentrated on the front and rear of the body. Rear-wheel drive: This type of car initially adopted rear-wheel drive, with the advantage of better handling performance. The weight distribution is close to 50:50, significantly improving balance. The performance and handling of the car itself are also adopted by many sports cars. The reason for rear-wheel drive is that it allows easier acceleration on the road surface, with higher traction from the drive wheels. It also offers excellent processing performance. However, rear-wheel drive is more expensive than front-wheel drive, with more components, and the disadvantage is that it occupies less space compared to front-wheel drive.

What does TC mean when displayed on a car?

When TC is displayed on a car, it means the Traction Control system is activated. The Traction Control System, also known as the Track Control System, is designed to maintain the vehicle's trajectory in accordance with the driver's control. The Traction Control System relies on ABS sensors to process and respond to the information received from these sensors. When the system detects, through electronic sensors, that the driven wheels are rotating slower than the driving wheels, it sends signals to adjust ignition timing, reduce throttle opening, decrease acceleration, downshift, or apply brakes to the wheels, thereby improving the vehicle's driving stability, acceleration, and climbing capability.

What Are the Precautions for Automatic Car Washing?

Precautions for using automatic car wash machines: Do not turn on the wipers, and drive to the designated position. Do not turn on the wipers: The structure of automatic car wash machines includes many fabric strips. If the wipers are in the automatic sensing position, they may activate during the water spray, potentially getting tangled in the fabric strips and causing damage to the wipers. Therefore, before entering the automatic car wash, ensure the wipers are in a stationary state and check if the automatic rain-sensing function is enabled. If it is, turn it off. Drive to the designated position: The vehicle must be driven to the pre-set position, with the steering wheel kept straight and the tires facing forward. This ensures no deviation occurs when the car is moved by the automatic conveyor belt during washing. If the steering wheel is turned or the vehicle is not properly aligned during the wash, the car may slide, potentially colliding with the automatic car wash machine and causing damage to the vehicle.

Can I retake the Subject 4 test immediately if I scored 86 points?

You can retake the test on the same day. If you fail both attempts, you can apply for a retest after 10 days. There is no limit to the number of retakes, and each retake offers two test opportunities. Subject 1: Also known as the theoretical test or driver's theory test, it is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. The test content includes driving theory basics, road safety laws and regulations, local regulations, and related knowledge. The test format is computer-based, consisting of 100 questions, with a passing score of 90 or above. Subject 2: Also known as the small road test, it is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment and refers to the field driving skills test. For small vehicles (C1, C2), the test items include five mandatory components: reversing into a garage, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, turning at a right angle, and curve driving (commonly known as the S-curve). Subject 3: Includes the road driving skills test and the safe and civilized driving knowledge test. It is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment and refers to the road driving skills and safe and civilized driving knowledge test for motor vehicle drivers. The content of the road driving skills test varies depending on the type of vehicle being licensed.

Can Automatic Parking Lots Recognize Temporary License Plates?

Currently, the vast majority of automatic license plate recognition machines cannot identify temporary license plates. Temporary license plates can be applied for up to 3 times, and new cars using temporary plates must not exceed 15 days. Vehicle owners should promptly apply for official license plates from the vehicle management authority. Below is relevant information about temporary license plates: Types of Temporary License Plates: There are two types of temporary license plates: one can only be used on specific city roads (blue background with black characters and black borders), while the other can be used nationwide (brown-yellow background with black characters and black borders). Temporary license plates are related to insurance purchases. With a temporary license plate, all insurance types (except for vehicle theft insurance, which does not take effect) become immediately valid. Running a Red Light with Temporary Plates Results in Penalty Points: Both temporary and official license plates will incur a 6-point penalty for running a red light. When drivers approach an intersection, they need to observe the traffic signal shape. If there is an arrow signal, they should follow the arrow light; if not, they can refer to the circular light. If the green light has just started flashing when approaching the intersection and it is not possible to pass, drivers should brake in time to avoid running a red light.

What are the formats for in-car music?

Common formats for in-car music include MP3, WMA, as well as some VCD, SVCD, DVD, and certain AVI and MP4 music file formats, depending on the vehicle's compatibility. Below are the reasons why a car USB drive might not be recognized and some considerations for downloading songs to a car USB drive: Reasons why a car USB drive might not be recognized: Loose connection: Since the USB drive is often plugged into the car's USB port for extended periods, the vibrations and movements of the vehicle can cause it to become loose. Once loose, the car's USB port may suddenly stop reading the drive. Damaged USB drive: Due to the less-than-ideal environment inside the car, the USB drive might get damaged. Considerations for downloading songs to a car USB drive: File format: The most common format for in-car music is MP3. Other formats include CDA, WMA, WAV, etc. Therefore, when downloading songs, it's important to pay attention to format conversion. Storage path: The storage path for music files should not be too deep; otherwise, the vehicle might not scan the music files. It is generally recommended to store music files in the root directory of the USB drive.
