Cars over 15 years old cannot purchase collision insurance. Generally, private vehicles over 8 years old are not insured, and very few insurance companies will cover cars over 10 years old. Even if coverage is provided, compensation is paid on a proportional basis. Below is additional information: 1. Collision Insurance: Collision insurance is a type of commercial auto insurance. It stipulates that when the insured or an authorized driver causes damage to the insured vehicle during an accident while driving, the insurance company should provide compensation within reasonable limits. 2. Coverage Scope: Collision, overturning, or falling; fire, explosion, spontaneous combustion (requires separate spontaneous combustion insurance); falling or collapsing external objects; storms, tornadoes; lightning strikes, hail, heavy rain, floods, tsunamis; ground collapse, ice collapse, cliff collapse, avalanches, mudslides, landslides; natural disasters affecting ferries transporting the insured vehicle (limited to cases where the driver is accompanying the vehicle); necessary and reasonable rescue expenses.

Will the driving school help if I fail the subject 2 test four times and take it five times?

If you fail the subject 2 test four times and take it five times, the driving school will not help. More relevant information is as follows: 1. "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses" in Article 44: During the validity period of the study driving certificate, the number of appointments for the subject 2 and subject 3 road driving skills tests shall not exceed five times. If the fifth test appointment is still not passed, the results of other subjects that have been passed will be invalidated, and you will need to re-register and re-schedule the test. 2. Appointment: For any subject, each test appointment includes: one normal test opportunity and one immediate re-test opportunity. If you fail to pass after five consecutive test appointments (including the re-test opportunities, totaling 10 tests), the previously passed subject results will be invalidated, and you will need to start learning and testing again from subject 1.

Is driving at 130 km/h on a highway with a 120 km/h speed limit considered a traffic violation?

Driving at 130 km/h on a highway with a 120 km/h speed limit is considered a traffic violation, but if the speeding is within 10%, only a warning will be issued without penalty. Penalties for speeding on highways: If the speeding exceeds the limit by less than 10%, no penalty will be imposed; if the speeding exceeds the limit by 10% to 20%, a fine will be issued with 3 demerit points; if the speeding exceeds the limit by 20% to 50%, a fine will be issued with 6 demerit points; if the speeding exceeds the limit by more than 50%, a fine will be issued with 12 demerit points. Dangers of speeding: Higher speeds inherently mean that the vehicle has stronger inertia to maintain straight-line driving, resulting in poorer directional control and greater risks. In case of an emergency ahead, it is difficult for the driver to control the vehicle's speed and direction within a short time. Speeding increases the difference in airflow speed between the top and bottom of the vehicle body, thereby weakening the adhesion performance between the tires and the road surface and reducing the stability of the vehicle.
