You should contact the insurance company after being rear-ended. If you have purchased insurance, the insurance company is obligated to compensate for the financial losses of the insured. Here is more information about car insurance: Definition: Car insurance is a type of commercial insurance that covers personal injuries or property damage caused by natural disasters or accidents involving motor vehicles. Compulsory Traffic Insurance (CTI): CTI is a mandatory national insurance that every vehicle owner must purchase. If you drive without CTI, once caught, your vehicle will be impounded (until you purchase CTI and display the insurance sticker in the designated location), and you will be fined and have points deducted. CTI primarily covers personal injuries and property damage to victims (excluding passengers in your own vehicle and the insured) in traffic accidents. However, the compensation limit of CTI is limited and cannot cover large-scale personal injury accidents.

I was rear-ended just a few days ago, and fortunately, I handled it quite promptly. After the accident, I first pulled my car over to the side of the road to ensure no one was injured, then took photos to document the scene and the other party's license plate information. I immediately called my insurance company to report the incident, and they guided me on the next steps, such as going to their designated repair shop to assess the vehicle damage. The insurance of the car behind me covered all the costs. If I hadn't contacted the insurance and tried to arrange repairs myself, it could have cost me thousands, which would have been a huge loss. Moreover, the insurance company followed up on the claims process afterward, preventing the other party from avoiding responsibility or delaying payments. I also keep a small notebook in my car to jot down the other party's insurance number, which has proven quite useful. In short, contacting your insurance company after being rear-ended is essential—it saves you a lot of hassle and helps get your life back on track.

How to Master the Clutch Half-Engagement?

Mastering the clutch half-engagement method: 1. The duration of the half-engagement state should be as short as possible. During this state, the clutch plate undergoes abnormal wear, so it's essential to minimize the time spent in half-engagement. 2. If frequent use of half-engagement is necessary, adopt a pattern of "half-engagement, disengagement, half-engagement, disengagement" to ensure the clutch plate cools properly. 3. Maintain good driving habits by removing your left foot from the pedal when not using the clutch. Some drivers develop the bad habit of keeping their foot on the pedal, which can inadvertently keep the clutch in a half-engaged state and accelerate wear. 4. Regularly maintain the clutch plate. If you notice significant changes in pedal feel or gear shifting, consult a mechanic immediately. A burning smell accompanied by difficulty in shifting gears usually indicates a burnt clutch plate, which requires prompt repair or replacement.

Can I Cancel the Subject 3 Exam One Day in Advance?

Canceling the Subject 3 exam one day in advance is not allowed. If an emergency arises after successfully scheduling the Subject 3 exam and you are unable to attend, you must cancel it at least two days in advance by personally visiting the vehicle management office with your ID card. Alternatively, you can ask the driving school to assist with the cancellation, but the procedures are quite cumbersome. Methods to cancel the exam appointment: After successfully scheduling the exam but before receiving the specific exam date, you can cancel directly through the app. If you have already received the exam schedule details, you must visit the driving school or the driving test center to cancel the appointment. Cancellation limits: You are allowed to cancel the exam appointment up to three times, all of which are legally permissible. Whether you cancel through the mobile app, the driving test center, or the driving school, it will not affect your exam results or future exam scheduling.

What to Do If You Run a Red Light Due to Poor Visibility in Foggy Weather?

Solution for running a red light due to poor visibility in foggy weather: There is no need to worry if you run a red light because you couldn't see the traffic signal in heavy fog, as the surveillance photos taken will also fail to clearly show the red light, rendering them invalid. Traffic authorities require three photos as evidence to confirm a red-light violation: one showing the vehicle before crossing the stop line during the red light, and two others showing the vehicle proceeding through the intersection during the red light. During heavy fog, meteorological departments issue fog warnings to the public, and drivers can assess whether it is safe to drive based on the warning level. If visibility is so poor that traffic signals cannot be seen, it indicates a high-level warning, and driving under such conditions is not recommended for safety reasons. It is advisable to reduce speed and use fog lights to maximize driving safety in foggy conditions.
