Motor vehicle loss insurance is one of the basic types of motor vehicle insurance, commonly referred to as vehicle damage insurance. Below is relevant information about vehicle damage insurance: 1. Basic Concept: Vehicle damage insurance is a type of commercial auto insurance where the insurer compensates within a reasonable range for damages to the insured vehicle caused by an insured accident while the vehicle is being used by the insured or an authorized driver. 2. Premium Discounts: The new policy also establishes 12 adjustment levels for auto insurance rates based on the previous year's claims record, with dynamic adjustments made according to the previous year's claims. The highest level is level 12, which adjusts the premium to 200%; the lowest level is level 1, which adjusts the premium to 50%.

I've been driving for almost twenty years and have dealt with insurance matters many times. Every time I hear the insurance company mention motor vehicle damage insurance, I double-check the details. It's actually what people commonly refer to as car damage insurance—they mean exactly the same thing. It covers the loss or damage to your own vehicle, such as collision accidents, scratches, or destruction caused by floods or earthquakes. The cost of repairs can be claimed under this coverage. I remember when I first bought a car, I was also confused by the formal names on the insurance policy. Later, I asked professionals, and they clarified that these were just different names for the same type of insurance. In daily life, friends and neighbors simplify it to car damage insurance because it's easier to say. When buying insurance, focus on the coverage details—don’t be misled by the name. The key point is that it covers the direct damage to your motor vehicle, so don’t overlook this coverage.

Will running a red light with a temporary license plate result in penalty points?

Yes, penalty points will be incurred. According to Article 90 of the Road Traffic Safety Law, drivers who violate traffic signals will be fined 200 yuan and receive 6 penalty points. Temporary license plates are paper-based vehicle plates that allow temporary road use. Traffic violation penalties are not related to whether the vehicle has a temporary or permanent license plate; they are primarily imposed for the act of violating traffic rules. To determine a red-light violation, at least three pieces of photographic evidence are required: the vehicle has not left the stop line when the red light is on; the vehicle passes through the intersection during the red light; the vehicle has crossed the line and continues to move forward during the red light. Article 26 of the Road Traffic Safety Law: Traffic signals consist of red, green, and yellow lights. A red light indicates prohibition of passage, a green light indicates permission to pass, and a yellow light serves as a warning. Article 44: When passing through intersections, motor vehicles must obey traffic signals, signs, road markings, or the direction of traffic police. Six scenarios of running a red light: Stopping immediately after crossing the line at a red light (when the red light is on, the vehicle fails to stop in time, and the front crosses the stop line): If the vehicle has just crossed the stop line during the red light but stops immediately, this will not be penalized as running a red light. However, if there is noticeable movement after crossing the line, penalties will apply. The three photos captured by electronic surveillance for running a red light are: the front wheels crossing the stop line, the rear wheels crossing the stop line, and the front wheels crossing the opposite stop line. Only when all three photos are present will it be considered running a red light, resulting in 6 penalty points under the new regulations. Running a red light under the direction of traffic police (when the signal is red, but the traffic police officer signals permission to proceed): When there is a conflict between the traffic signal and the traffic police's gesture, motor vehicle drivers must follow the on-site command of the traffic police. If a red-light violation occurs due to the traffic police's direction, the driver can obtain a diversion certificate from the local traffic police station to avoid penalties. If the party disagrees with the penalty, they can appeal through administrative reconsideration or administrative litigation. Stopping with the entire vehicle body beyond the stop line at a red light (failing to brake in time, resulting in the entire vehicle crossing the stop line): If the entire vehicle crosses the stop line but does not continue moving, this is not considered running a red light but rather stopping beyond the line. Reversing after crossing the line (attempting to avoid penalties by reversing after crossing the line at a red light): Motor vehicles must not reverse at railway crossings, intersections, one-way roads, bridges, sharp turns, steep slopes, or tunnels. Violations may result in a warning or fine. Accidentally running a red light behind a large vehicle (due to obstructed visibility, following a large vehicle through the intersection): Drivers must maintain sufficient visibility to see traffic signals ahead and ensure a safe braking distance. Generally, if a motor vehicle is photographed behind a large vehicle, it is due to rushing through the intersection. Such behavior will be penalized as running a red light.

What does adjustable headlight height mean in cars?

Adjustable headlight height refers to the function of front headlights that allows adjustment of the light projection angle. By adjusting the headlight angle, optimal illumination range can be achieved, enhancing road driving safety. Most vehicles feature a manual adjustment knob inside the car to freely regulate the headlight projection height. Some high-end luxury cars are equipped with automatic leveling systems that adjust headlight height based on sensor data without manual controls. Automotive headlights, also known as front lamps or LED daytime running lights, serve as the "eyes" of a vehicle. They not only affect the owner's external image but are also crucial for safe driving at night or under adverse weather conditions. Proper use and maintenance of car lights should never be overlooked.
