It is acceptable to only purchase compulsory traffic insurance for a vehicle, as this is the only insurance mandated by the state, and having it allows the vehicle to be driven legally on the road. Otherwise, according to the "Road Traffic Safety Law," the traffic management department of the public security authorities shall detain the motor vehicle, notify the party to provide the corresponding license, mark, or complete the necessary procedures, and may issue a warning or impose a fine ranging from 20 to 200 yuan. Compulsory Traffic Insurance for Vehicles: The full name of compulsory traffic insurance is "Compulsory Traffic Accident Liability Insurance for Motor Vehicles." It is a mandatory liability insurance where the insurance company compensates for personal injuries, deaths, and property losses of victims (excluding vehicle occupants and the insured) within the liability limits in the event of a road traffic accident involving the insured motor vehicle. The premium is based on a nationally unified standard. However, the price of compulsory traffic insurance varies for different vehicle types, mainly influenced by the number of car seats. Compared to the over 20 exemption clauses in commercial third-party liability insurance, compulsory traffic insurance covers a much broader range, including losses caused by intentional actions of the victim, property losses of the insured, related arbitration and litigation costs, and certain indirect losses due to accidents. Moreover, regardless of whether the insured vehicle is at fault in the accident, compulsory traffic insurance will compensate within the liability limits without deductibles or exemptions. Introduction to Electronic Insurance Policies An electronic insurance policy refers to a digital policy issued by an insurance company with an electronic signature, using digital signature software and corporate digital certificates that comply with the PKI system. An insurance policy, abbreviated as a policy, is the official written proof of an insurance contract between the insurer and the insured. The policy must fully record the rights, obligations, and responsibilities of both parties to the insurance contract. The content recorded in the policy serves as the basis for both parties to fulfill the contract. The policy is proof of the establishment of the insurance contract. Advantages of Electronic Insurance Policies: Saves paper resources, eliminating the need to print insurance proof marks; Time-saving and convenient, not restricted by time or location, with information universally accessible online anytime, quickly and easily; Allows for reissuance and resending, eliminating concerns about losing it. If a paper version is needed offline, it can be printed or mailed; Easy management, as electronic standardization makes it easier for insurance companies and traffic police departments to manage the insurance information of various vehicles.

What Causes Steering Wheel Shaking When Driving Fast

If the car only shakes when driving, it may be caused by an issue with the wheel dynamic balance. In such cases, it is recommended to visit a professional tire shop to perform a dynamic balance test on each wheel. If the wheel dynamic balance is normal, it is advisable to check the engine and transmission. High-speed rotating components in a car require dynamic balance testing, and wheels are no exception. A wheel consists of a rim and a tire. During manufacturing, neither the tire nor the rim has uniform weight distribution across all parts. After the tire is mounted on the rim, the weight distribution of the wheel is still uneven. When the wheel rotates at high speed, this can cause abnormal shaking. Therefore, wheels need dynamic balancing. During a dynamic balance test, the wheel is mounted on a specialized machine, which rotates the wheel and detects where counterweights need to be added and how much weight is required. After testing, the technician installs balance weights at the appropriate locations. It is recommended to perform a dynamic balance test on each wheel after installing new tires to prevent abnormal shaking at high speeds. If abnormal shaking occurs during high-speed driving, it can affect the car's stability and handling. Steering wheel shaking when driving fast If the steering wheel shakes when driving fast, first check whether the tire pressure of the front and rear wheels is normal. If the tire pressure is normal, the issue is likely related to the car's dynamic balance, and a four-wheel alignment may be required. Possible causes of steering wheel shaking when driving fast: poor tire dynamic balance, deformed wheel rims, faulty half-shaft dynamic balance, damaged half-shaft bearing, or deformed wheel hub.

How is a car battery charged?

Car batteries are charged by the alternator. The time required to fully charge a 12V battery depends on various factors such as the remaining battery charge, engine speed, and current power consumption. To extend the battery's service life, here are some relevant details about car batteries: 1. Car Battery: A car battery, also known as a storage battery, is a type of battery that works by converting chemical energy into electrical energy. 2. Car Battery Maintenance: (1) Avoid frequent vehicle starts. In winter, when the car is difficult to start, do not attempt continuous starts. Continuous starting will definitely cause the battery to over-discharge and become damaged. The interval between restarts should exceed 5 seconds. (2) When the battery has been in use for about two and a half years, routine maintenance should include battery testing as a preventive measure. Try to avoid using electrical devices such as the CD player or cigarette lighter when the vehicle is not running, and minimize the use of various onboard electrical devices while driving.

What to Do About Abnormal ETC Deductions?

For abnormal ETC deductions, the first step is to call the ETC customer service hotline for assistance. You can also report the issue to toll station staff. Generally, the system records vehicle entry and exit data, making abnormal ETC deductions unlikely. In cases of duplicate ETC charges, visit a highway service office or ETC service outlet to file a dispute. Fill out an application form to request a fee recalculation, and the bank will refund any overcharged amount to your account within the stipulated time. Regarding missed ETC exit scans, vehicles intentionally evading tolls will be added to the ETC blacklist, barred from nationwide highway access, and charged based on the longest possible route distance. However, tolls can be paid retroactively through manual lanes. If blacklisting occurs due to insufficient ETC card balance, the restriction will be lifted within 24 hours after recharge.

Who to Call for Help When a Car Tire Blows Out on the Road?

You can call the 4S store for rescue. If the distance is far, you can request assistance from a professional car rescue agency. 1. Preventing tire blowouts: As temperatures rise, the likelihood of a tire blowout increases. Therefore, it is essential to check the tire pressure beforehand, fasten the seatbelt, and drive cautiously. Not only should tire pressure be carefully monitored, but tire temperature should also not be overlooked, especially during hot weather in summer or during long drives. 2. Handling a tire blowout: (1) When it is determined that the front tire has blown out: First, firmly grip the steering wheel, remember not to adjust the direction abruptly, wait until the direction stabilizes, then gradually apply the brakes to slow down the vehicle, gently steer the wheel to pull over, and set up a triangular warning sign approximately 100-200 meters behind the car. (2) When the rear tire blows out: The vehicle's tendency to veer off course will be less pronounced. In this case, ease off the accelerator, gently apply the brakes, maintain control of the steering, slowly pull over to the side, and set up a triangular warning sign approximately 100-200 meters behind the car.

Can you shift out of gear without pressing the clutch in a manual transmission car while driving?

You can shift out of gear without pressing the clutch while driving, but the resistance will be greater. It is not recommended to operate this way for a long time, as it may accelerate transmission wear. Moreover, it can easily cause gear grinding, which may render the transmission useless. When the engine is not running, it is possible and will not damage the transmission. While driving at higher speeds, you can force the gearshift without pressing the clutch. However, the shifting speed must be fast to increase the chance of gear alignment. Generally, you cannot shift gears when the car is not running unless the gears happen to align, but this is rare. Proper clutch coordination during gear shifting: Whether using the double-clutch shifting method or the single-clutch shifting method, it is important to press the clutch pedal all the way down when shifting. After shifting, before fully releasing the clutch, lightly press the accelerator, then slowly release the clutch and maintain a semi-engaged state until the vehicle speed stabilizes before fully releasing the clutch. Control speed before shifting: Shifting should be determined based on the vehicle speed. Before upshifting, increase the speed first, and before downshifting, reduce the speed first. It is important to note that when downshifting, to prevent mechanical wear, it is best to use the double-clutch method.

Can a Car Battery Really Be Repaired?

A car battery can be repaired, but only if its voltage is above 9V, the casing is intact, and its shape has not changed. Methods for maintaining a car battery include: 1. Avoid storing it in a discharged state: A discharged state refers to when the battery is not recharged promptly after use, which can easily lead to sulfation. Lead sulfate crystals form on the plates, blocking ion channels and resulting in insufficient charging and reduced battery capacity. The longer the battery remains idle in a discharged state, the more severe the damage. When the battery is not in use, it should be charged once a month to extend its lifespan. 2. Prevent exposure to high temperatures: An excessively hot environment increases internal pressure in the battery, forcing the pressure relief valve to open automatically. The direct consequence is an increased loss of water from the battery, which inevitably leads to reduced battery activity, accelerated plate softening, and fatal damage such as heat generation during charging, bulging, or deformation of the casing.
