Generally, water damage insurance has a deductible rate of 15% to 20%, but different insurance companies have varying regulations regarding the deductible rate. It is essential to inquire clearly when purchasing. Water damage insurance covers direct damage to the engine caused by water ingress and the necessary, reasonable rescue expenses incurred to prevent or reduce the loss of the insured motor vehicle. Related information about water damage insurance: 1. Definition: Water damage insurance, also known as auto loss insurance or engine special loss insurance, is called differently by various insurance companies but essentially the same. It is a newly derived type of insurance, referring to the additional insurance purchased by the car owner for the engine. 2. Scope of application: When the insured motor vehicle is submerged up to the exhaust pipe or intake pipe due to heavy rain or flood, and the driver continues to start the vehicle or uses inertia to start it; or after suffering from heavy rain or flood, the vehicle is started without necessary treatment. In these two cases, purchasing water damage insurance is necessary to obtain corresponding compensation.

What is the speed limit on highways at night?

For roads with three or more lanes in the same direction, the minimum speed in the leftmost lane is 110 kilometers per hour, and the minimum speed in the middle lane is 90 kilometers per hour. Below is a detailed introduction: 1. Introduction one: Highways should indicate the speed limit for each lane, with the maximum speed not exceeding 120 kilometers per hour and the minimum speed not less than 60 kilometers per hour. 2. Introduction two: On highways, the maximum speed for small passenger vehicles should not exceed 120 kilometers per hour, for other motor vehicles it should not exceed 100 kilometers per hour, and for motorcycles it should not exceed 80 kilometers per hour.

What does it mean when a 4S shop says a car is off the production line?

Generally, it refers to the conversion of taxis from commercial to non-commercial use. The service life of a taxi is 8 years. The so-called commercial-to-non-commercial conversion means that an operational vehicle is converted into a non-operational vehicle. Here are detailed explanations about it: 1. Explanation one: Because the mileage is particularly high, the service life is also very short. Therefore, if the owner buys this type of car, the price is very cheap, but the failure rate is also particularly high. 2. Explanation two: As a taxi, it usually goes off the production line after a failure between 4 to 5 years, so if the owner buys it, they can still drive it for a few more years.

Is a New Car Still Safe After Being Repaired from a Major Accident?

Automobiles are designed with a service life of over 20 years. Whether a new car remains safe after being repaired from a major accident depends on the quality of the repairs. If the damaged vehicle can be restored to its original factory technical standards, its safety will not be compromised. However, vehicles that cannot be restored to their original technical condition will have safety risks. Accidents can impact a vehicle in the following ways: 1. Suboptimal Repair Outcomes: After a traffic accident, a vehicle may suffer strong impacts, leading to varying degrees of damage. In severe cases, the entire body may be severely deformed. Although there are many auto repair shops, due to the low technical skills of repair personnel and the use of outdated equipment, the repair outcomes are often suboptimal, resulting in reduced safety and reliability of the repaired vehicle. 2. Irrecoverable Fatigue Life: Even if an accident-damaged vehicle can be restored to its original appearance after repairs, its fatigue life cannot be fully recovered. Moreover, most accident repairs do not follow the manufacturer's specified methods, leading to further reductions in structural strength. Therefore, it is crucial to assess whether the vehicle can be fully restored—vehicles that cannot be fully restored are not recommended for purchase. 3. Depreciation Issues: For high-value vehicles, even minor repairs like bumper replacements can significantly impact resale value. Conversely, for lower-value vehicles, certain defects may not be as noticeable. Compared to critical damage to components like the crash beam, chassis, or engine, replacing a bumper is relatively insignificant.
