To drive a car on the road, it is mandatory to purchase compulsory traffic insurance (CTPL). Additionally, other types of insurance can be purchased based on the owner's needs: 1. Compulsory Traffic Insurance (CTPL): CTPL is a mandatory insurance requirement. Consumers must purchase CTPL for their new cars to legally drive on the road. If a vehicle insured with CTPL is involved in a traffic accident, the insurance company will provide compensation within the coverage limits. 2. Vehicle Damage Insurance: If the insured or other permitted drivers cause an accident resulting in damage to the insured vehicle covered under vehicle damage insurance, the insurance company will bear the claim liability within reasonable limits, reducing the financial loss from vehicle damage. 3. Third-Party Liability Insurance: If the insured or other permitted drivers cause an accident involving a vehicle insured with third-party liability insurance, resulting in injury to a third party, and the insured is legally required to bear financial responsibility, the insurance company will cover the compensation. Third-party liability insurance generally serves as a supplement to CTPL, providing an additional layer of protection on top of CTPL. 4. No-Deductible Insurance: No-deductible insurance ensures full compensation (100%) for vehicle damage and third-party liability claims. By purchasing no-deductible insurance, the insured can transfer the portion of the claim they would otherwise bear to the insurance company, thereby reducing their financial burden after a traffic accident.

When I first bought a car, I was quite confused and didn’t know how to purchase insurance, so I spent a few weekends researching it. First, you need to get compulsory traffic insurance, which is mandatory by the state and covers your liability for others’ losses. Then there’s commercial insurance, where you can opt for third-party liability insurance to cover accident compensation and vehicle damage insurance to repair your own car. I compared quotes from several insurers like Ping An and Pacific Insurance and found that online platforms like Alipay or official websites are more convenient—just enter your license plate and vehicle details to get an instant quote. When buying, you need to choose the coverage amount; higher coverage is more expensive but safer—don’t skimp on protection just to save money. I finally completed the process via an app, saving time on visiting physical branches. Before buying car insurance, it’s best to check the vehicle’s maintenance records to ensure there are no hidden issues, otherwise the insurance might not pay out. After the first experience, renewing is much simpler—just remember to renew early before year-end to avoid price hikes.

As someone who commutes by car daily, I always look for ways to save money when buying car insurance. The key is to compare different options. Online tools like insurance apps provide instant quotes, quickly showing price differences between companies. For example, third-party liability coverage should be at least 1 million to avoid being unable to pay for luxury car damages, but increasing the deductible can lower premiums. Additionally, a no-claims record qualifies for renewal discounts, saving hundreds. I also check user reviews to choose companies with good service, making claims hassle-free. Don’t overlook policy details like post-accident reporting procedures—some offer free towing, which is practical. New drivers should prioritize coverage over price and keep digital copies of policies on their phones for easy access.

When buying car insurance, I prioritize protecting my family's safety. First, I always get compulsory traffic insurance to cover basic liabilities, then add third-party liability insurance to cover accident compensations—don't let minor incidents ruin family finances. For a family car, I also opt for vehicle damage insurance and passenger seat insurance to repair my own car and protect passengers. The process is simple: prepare your ID and vehicle license, enter the car details in the insurance company's app, and get a quote in minutes. Pay online, and you're done—quick and convenient. Remember to choose higher coverage for peace of mind in case of accidents. After purchasing, I teach my kids the policy details so they can contact the insurer quickly if needed. Car insurance isn't an expense; it's an investment in safety.

Buying car insurance through a mobile app is super convenient. I usually do it on Alipay or the official websites of insurance companies. Just open the app, enter details like the license plate and model, and the system automatically generates quotes, showing options for compulsory traffic insurance and commercial insurance. I prefer purchasing third-party liability insurance to cover compensation for damages, and vehicle damage insurance to protect against scratches. After selecting, you can pay directly, and the electronic policy is sent to your email, which you can save on your phone for easy access. The whole process takes just a few minutes, much better than queuing up at a physical store. Before each renewal, I use online tools to compare prices again and choose if there are new discounts. Key point: Make sure to upload clear photos of your vehicle to avoid errors that might affect the price. Technology has saved me a lot of time, and I recommend young people to give it a try.

Is It Safe If the Handbrake Warning Light Stays On?

It is unsafe if the handbrake warning light stays on. How the handbrake warning light works: In simple vehicle models, power passes through a fuse to the brake switch. When the brake pedal is pressed for braking, the switch connects, sending electricity to the two brake lights and one high-mounted brake light, completing the circuit through the negative wire connected to the vehicle body. The function of the handbrake warning light: Brake lights are bright and highly visible, primarily used to alert vehicles behind that the car is slowing down or stopping. Incorrect use or malfunction of brake lights can easily lead to rear-end collisions. Explanation of the handbrake warning light: This indicator light shows the status of the vehicle's handbrake. Normally, it is off. When the handbrake is engaged, the light automatically turns on. When the handbrake is released, the light turns off. Some vehicle models will also emit a warning sound if the handbrake is not released while driving.

What vehicles can be driven with an A3 driver's license?

A3 driver's license allows driving urban buses with a capacity of more than 10 people. Inspection requirement: Drivers holding licenses for large buses, tractors, urban buses, medium-sized buses, or large trucks must undergo inspection at the traffic management department of the public security authority within 30 days after the end of each scoring cycle. No inspection if no points: If there are no demerit points recorded by the end of a scoring cycle, the inspection for that cycle is exempted. If there are no demerit points in every scoring cycle, then no inspection is required. License revocation: Drivers who are involved in a traffic accident resulting in death and bear equal or greater responsibility, but whose motor vehicle driver's license has not been revoked, and have demerit points (regardless of the number of points) in a scoring cycle, must undergo annual inspection within 30 days after the end of the scoring cycle.

What is the standard width dimension of highways?

Highway lane width standard dimensions are 3.75 meters and 3.5 meters (emergency lane), with design speeds of 80 km/h, 100 km/h, 120 km/h, and 60 km/h (special sections); the road scale is bidirectional four lanes or more, and unidirectional two lanes or more. The following is a specific introduction to highways: 1. Definition of highways: Highways are a type of road classified by technical grade, with a level higher than first-class roads, second-class roads, third-class roads, fourth-class roads, and substandard roads. Highways and national or provincial roads classified by road network status are cross-related, meaning highways are part of national or provincial roads in the road network. 2. Highway network: In urban road systems, expressways can be constructed according to highway standards, because highways and expressways share the same basic structural characteristics. The highway network is different from the concept of highways; the highway network not only includes highway routes that meet technical grade standards but also covers some expressway routes that undertake high-speed transportation functions, mostly closed first-class roads, often connected with other highways for toll collection.
