Here are some tips for driving through waterlogged road sections: 1. Pay attention to observing the water depth: If the water depth exceeds the vehicle's maximum wading depth, the following preparations should be made before wading: close the radiator shutters, remove the fan belt, and wrap the distributor and high-voltage wires with plastic sheeting. Also, observe the route and speed of the vehicle ahead to estimate the water depth and determine whether your vehicle can pass through. 2. Engage low gear and drive slowly when entering the water: Avoid rushing into the water and soaking the engine parts. Keep the steering wheel steady while driving, and do not shift gears or stop. 3. After driving through the water: Immediately remove the wrapping from the electrical parts, dry the wet areas, and reinstall the fan belt. After continuing on the road, avoid driving at high speeds. If the vehicle has been submerged, the owner should send it to a repair shop as soon as possible.

Do small cars still need to display the compulsory insurance sticker?

With the introduction of electronic insurance policies, it is no longer necessary to display the compulsory traffic insurance sticker. Below is relevant information about compulsory traffic insurance: Description: Compulsory traffic insurance is a mandatory national insurance, and vehicles can only be driven on the road after purchasing it. Compulsory traffic insurance compensates for the losses of the victim party, but the compensation amount is limited, and it does not cover the losses of the vehicle owner who purchased the insurance. Given the frequent occurrence of traffic accidents nowadays, even minor collisions or rear-end accidents require supplementary commercial auto insurance. Important Notes: Compulsory traffic insurance and third-party liability insurance must be purchased, but do not overlook vehicle damage insurance, especially for new drivers who are not yet skilled. Vehicle damage insurance ensures that your own vehicle can receive adequate compensation in the event of an accident.
