Hitting a wall is covered in full by the insurance company. What the insurer considers is not whether you hit a wall or a stone pillar, but whether the car owner has preserved the first scene of the accident—at least by taking photos as evidence. If you do nothing after the incident and simply leave, there will be a 30% deductible rate, as stipulated in the contract. If your parked car is hit by someone else and the culprit cannot be found when you discover the damage, insurance companies offer a special "Motor Vehicle Loss Insurance Unable to Find Third Party" coverage. Purchasing this coverage ensures full compensation. If your car only has compulsory traffic insurance or if you did not purchase vehicle damage insurance under commercial auto insurance but only third-party liability insurance, then incidents like hitting a wall will not be covered by the insurance company. This is because hitting a wall is considered a single-party accident with no third party suffering losses.

I once accidentally drove my car into a wall, causing the front end to dent badly. At that time, my insurance company handled it quite efficiently—as long as I had purchased vehicle damage insurance and the no-deductible coverage, they basically covered the full cost, so I didn’t have to pay out of pocket. However, it’s important to note that insurance policies usually include a deductible, such as covering costs above 500 RMB yourself. If you don’t have the no-deductible coverage, they might only reimburse 80%-90%, not 70%. After that accident, I learned that for single-vehicle accidents, you must report to the police and your insurance company immediately. Wait for the traffic police to determine liability and confirm it’s your full responsibility—then they’ll send someone to assess the damage. The repair costs were quite high, costing me over 10,000 RMB, but the insurance covered it all. To prevent it from happening again, I now drive more carefully and remind everyone to avoid obstacles and not get distracted by phones. Another tip is to regularly check your tires and brakes—keeping your car well-maintained also reduces the chance of accidents. In short, insurance is a safety net, but safe driving is even more important.

As someone who frequently helps friends with car insurance matters, I've learned that if you're fully at fault for hitting a wall, the vehicle damage insurance typically provides full compensation, but this largely depends on your policy terms. Without the inclusion of a zero-deductible add-on, the insurance company might deduct 10%-20% as a deductible, resulting in coverage of 80%-90% rather than 70%. The 70% figure is quite rare, usually stemming from misunderstandings or special clauses. I recommend opting for comprehensive coverage when purchasing car insurance, such as adding a zero-deductible option—it's affordable and highly valuable. In the event of an accident, immediately call 122 to report to the police and contact your insurance company; they'll guide you on taking photos for evidence. Regarding repairs, as discussed, repair shops now use original parts for quicker fixes with minimal losses. However, remember that safe driving is fundamental. Like me, always buckle up before starting the car and check your surroundings before moving off—this significantly reduces the risk of hitting a wall.

What Does the Tire Model Number Mean?

Tire model numbers represent the tire's width, aspect ratio, type, and applicable size. For example, a tire model number like 205/60R16 can be interpreted as follows: The first number 205 indicates the tire width is 205 millimeters. The number 60 denotes the tire's aspect ratio is 60%, meaning the sidewall height is 60% of the tire's width. The letter R stands for radial tire, and 16 signifies the rim diameter is 16 inches. In addition to the model number, tires also display the following common specifications: Carcass ply material: Indicated by Chinese pinyin abbreviations, such as M for cotton cord, R for rayon cord, N for nylon cord, G for steel cord, and ZG for steel radial cord. Speed rating: Indicates the maximum speed at which the tire can carry a specified load under defined conditions. Letters from A to Z represent certified speed ratings ranging from 4.8 km/h to 300 km/h. Common speed ratings include: Q: 160 km/h; H: 210 km/h; V: 240 km/h; W: 270 km/h; Y: 300 km/h.

What is the green book of a car called?

The green book is the registration certificate, which is issued to the car owner on the spot by the staff of the vehicle management office at the inspection site when a new car is registered. More relevant information is as follows: 1. Introduction: The so-called big green book is the 'Motor Vehicle Registration Certificate', which is equivalent to a person's household registration booklet. It records the registration date and the date of manufacture, and is kept by the vehicle owner. It is generally not used on a daily basis and is not carried with the vehicle. However, it must be used when transferring the ownership of the vehicle. If the car is mortgaged for a loan, the lending company will usually also hold the big green book. Losing the big green book means that we only have the right to use the vehicle but not the right to sell it. 2. Prerequisite: Only when the car is purchased in full can the green book be obtained. If the car is purchased with a loan, the green book must be mortgaged to the loan bank or company. After the customer repays the loan, the big green book must be taken to the vehicle management office to release the mortgage, otherwise the ownership of the car will belong to the loan company.

What is the difference between antifreeze and water?

The difference between antifreeze and water lies in the fact that automotive antifreeze has a higher boiling point and lower freezing point than water. Antifreeze can reach a boiling point of 106°C and a freezing point below -45°C, offering better cooling performance and superior freeze protection compared to water. Additionally, antifreeze contains various special additives that provide anti-corrosion, anti-scaling, and anti-rust properties. Methods for selecting antifreeze: The basic indicators for antifreeze are its freezing and boiling points. The market offers antifreeze with freezing points of -15°C, -25°C, -30°C, -40°C, etc. Generally, it is advisable to choose an antifreeze with a freezing point at least 10°C lower than the lowest temperature in your region. Antifreeze replacement intervals: For vehicles that operate for extended periods, such as taxis, high-quality antifreeze should typically be replaced annually. Vehicles with shorter operating times can have their antifreeze replaced every two years or every 30,000 kilometers. To prevent excessive foam formation, which can reduce the heat exchange efficiency between the antifreeze and engine components, ensure the product is within its validity period when adding it. Long-life antifreeze can remain effective for up to three years. If suspended particles, sediment, or signs of deterioration or discoloration are observed in the antifreeze, it should be replaced promptly, and the system should be cleaned.

What does the AC switch on the air conditioner mean?

The car AC switch is the cooling switch, commonly referred to as turning on the cold air. The AC switch controls the compressor, which is one of the main components of the car's air conditioning refrigeration system, responsible for compressing and transporting refrigerant vapor. Proper use of the AC switch: 1. Cold seasons: In cold seasons, it is necessary to quickly raise the temperature inside the car. When the car starts, the engine begins to warm up. Wait until the engine temperature gauge needle points to the middle position, then turn on the warm air conditioning, and at the same time set the air circulation to external circulation to allow the cold air inside the car to be expelled or wait for 2 to 3 minutes before setting the air circulation to internal circulation. 2. Rainy or snowy weather: In rainy or snowy weather, when there is a large temperature difference between the inside and outside of the car, the front windshield is very prone to fogging. At this time, simply adjust the warm air outlet direction to the position that blows on the front windshield, and the fog can be removed in a few minutes.
