The Octavia is a domestic car. The differences between domestic cars and joint venture cars are as follows. Difference in price: Since core technologies are held by foreign companies, joint venture cars are generally more expensive than domestic cars. Difference in investment methods: Domestic cars are designed and manufactured by Chinese people themselves. Joint venture cars are mostly produced through cooperation where the Chinese side provides land, factory usage rights, and capital, while the foreign investors contribute brands, technologies, etc. Difference in brands: Domestic cars are considered self-owned brands, while joint venture cars are produced through Sino-foreign joint ventures. Difference in configurations: When comparing domestic cars and joint venture cars of the same price and level, domestic cars tend to have more abundant internal configurations. Moreover, in future development, domestic cars can fully focus on configurations to surpass their competitors. Currently, many low-end joint venture cars do not come with ESP, while in China, this has basically become a standard feature for domestic cars.

Is It Normal for Rust to Appear on Tire Brake Pads?

Rust on tire brake pads is a normal phenomenon. Most vehicles use cast iron brake discs. Due to the material properties, whenever the external weather is rainy or highly humid, rust may appear on the brake discs if the vehicle has been parked for a certain period or the brakes have not been used for a while. Methods to deal with rust on brake discs: Minor rust: It can be removed through normal braking. The friction between the brake pads and the brake discs will wear off the rust after several brake applications, restoring normal functionality. Severe rust: When the brake discs are severely rusted, normal braking may not be sufficient to remove the rust. The rust on the brake discs can cause uneven surfaces, leading to steering wheel vibrations and unusual noises during braking. In such cases, the brake pads can be removed and polished, but this will shorten the lifespan of the brake discs. It is best to replace them with new ones.

How Long Before Car Insurance Is Considered Lapsed?

Car insurance is considered lapsed if it expires even for a single day. Here are the specific details: Consequences of Lapse: Car insurance is deemed lapsed if it expires for just one day. If a vehicle with overdue insurance premiums is caught by traffic police while driving on the road, the owner will be fined double the insurance premium. After the car insurance expires, the vehicle cannot be driven on the road. A lapse is serious, and if caught by traffic police, the owner's vehicle may be impounded. Vehicle Lapse Explanation: Car insurance lapse refers to the situation where the vehicle is not properly insured before the end of the insurance period, leaving the original insured object without coverage for a certain period. If the car insurance lapses, the vehicle will no longer have any insurance coverage. In the event of a traffic accident, the owner will have to bear the losses themselves. Additionally, if a vehicle is driven without compulsory traffic insurance, the owner will face penalties if caught by traffic police.
