Oh man, last time I went to buy compulsory traffic insurance, they told me I had to bring a copy of my vehicle license. I thought just bringing my ID card would be enough. As a young driver, I learned this the hard way—that time I didn’t bring the vehicle license, and the insurance company staff flat-out refused to process it. The vehicle license proves the car is mine, with details like the license plate number, vehicle model, and registration date, which prevents misuse by others. After that, I made sure to keep a photocopy of my vehicle license in my wallet. If it gets lost, you have to go to the DMV to get a replacement first, otherwise, buying insurance becomes a hassle. Usually, I drive for convenience, but this is something you can’t slack on—otherwise, if you fail to get insurance and get caught by traffic police, the fine is even more annoying. Buying compulsory traffic insurance basically always requires this document. Others, like commercial insurance, might be more lenient, but compulsory traffic insurance is mandatory by the state, so you’ve got to get it done properly. I’d advise new drivers to prepare all the necessary documents to avoid unnecessary trips—safe driving starts with being thorough at this step.

I've been driving for over a decade, and you really can't buy compulsory traffic insurance without the vehicle license. Every time I go to the insurance company, they require the original or a clear copy to verify the vehicle's authenticity and legality, including its age and owner information, to prevent insurance fraud or incorrect coverage. I remember one time when my friend's car was transferred, and he couldn't get insurance because the new vehicle license hadn't arrived yet. Driving without it made him really nervous. Now, I always make sure to prepare my documents in advance, bringing both my ID and vehicle license when handling insurance. If you don’t have the vehicle license, it's best to contact the vehicle management office for a replacement first—don’t waste time trying other places. Other documents like the driver’s license are important too, but the vehicle license is the strictest requirement. Don’t underestimate this—insurance is about safety, and negligence could lead to regret if an accident happens. Getting it done early saves trouble and gives you peace of mind while driving.

When discussing compulsory traffic insurance, the vehicle license is indeed a necessary proof document. It accurately displays the vehicle registration information, allowing the insurance company to verify and ensure the correct insurance subject. Without it, the process can be difficult to proceed, such as needing new documents to renew insurance after transferring the vehicle, or delays in purchasing during replacement. It is recommended that vehicle owners keep their vehicle license intact, take photos and store them on their phones for convenient online insurance purchases, and cooperate with other basic documents. This is related to compliance with traffic regulations, so don't overlook the details.

What Needs to Be Replaced During the First Maintenance?

The first maintenance of a car requires the replacement of engine oil and the oil filter. In addition, it includes checking the vehicle's electrical equipment, lights, horn, and wipers, inspecting the vehicle's shock absorption system, as well as the tire pressure and usage. More information about the first maintenance of a car is as follows: 1. The first maintenance has two indicators: time and mileage, whichever comes first. Exceeding either one will affect the warranty. According to the manufacturer's explicit regulations, the first maintenance is a free service provided by the 4S shop. If the first maintenance date is exceeded, it will be regarded as voluntarily giving up the right to the first maintenance. If the first maintenance is not performed, any future quality issues with the car will not be covered by the warranty. Therefore, it is reminded to all car owners not to miss the first maintenance deadline. When the first maintenance is approaching, it is recommended that the owner must make an appointment in advance by phone to avoid long waiting times. At this time, the owner is reminded to bring the relevant documents; 2. The first maintenance mileage varies for different brands of cars. The difference in the first maintenance mileage is due to the varying technical levels of different car manufacturers. New car engines have a break-in period, and cars of different makes, brands, or even models are equipped with engines of different technical levels. Some engines have better materials and higher precision, resulting in relatively less wear, while others have higher requirements for engine oil, thus leading to inconsistencies in maintenance time and mileage.

Why is there a gasoline smell inside the car?

There are several reasons for a gasoline smell inside the car: 1. Aging rubber pipes in the gasoline purification carbon canister. In older vehicles, rubber components in the engine compartment are prone to aging and leakage into the engine bay, requiring timely replacement of the rubber pipes; 2. Leakage at the gasoline pipe interface. The gasoline smell enters the car through the air conditioning system. This can be identified by opening the engine hood and observing a layer of oily residue on the surface, which requires tightening or repair; 3. Poor sealing after disassembling the gasoline pump. This can be caused by replacing the gasoline pump or failing to clean residual substances after disassembly; 4. Overfilling the fuel tank. If gasoline enters the pipes of the activated carbon canister system, it can cause the car to stall after refueling and eventually fail to start.
