According to Article 95 of the Road Traffic Safety Law: If a motor vehicle driven on the road does not display the inspection qualification mark or insurance mark, or fails to carry the vehicle license or driver's license, the traffic management department of the public security organ shall detain the motor vehicle, notify the party to provide the corresponding license, mark, or complete the relevant procedures, and may impose penalties in accordance with Article 90 of this Law (a warning or a fine ranging from 20 to 200 yuan). Compulsory Traffic Insurance for Automobiles: The full name of compulsory traffic insurance is "Compulsory Liability Insurance for Motor Vehicle Traffic Accidents." It is a compulsory liability insurance where the insurance company compensates for personal injury, death, and property losses of victims (excluding vehicle occupants and the insured) caused by road traffic accidents within the liability limits. The premium is based on the nationally unified standard rates. However, the price of compulsory traffic insurance varies for different vehicle types, primarily influenced by the number of car seats. Compared to the more than 20 exemption clauses in commercial third-party insurance, the exemption scope of compulsory traffic insurance covers losses caused by intentional acts of the victim, the insured's own property losses, related arbitration and litigation costs, and some indirect losses caused by accidents, offering much broader coverage. Moreover, regardless of whether the insured vehicle is at fault in the accident, compulsory traffic insurance will compensate within the liability limits, with no deductibles or exemptions. Introduction to Electronic Insurance Policies: An electronic insurance policy refers to a digital policy issued by an insurance company using digital signature software and an enterprise digital certificate that complies with the PKI system, bearing the electronic signature of the insurance company. An insurance policy, abbreviated as a policy, is the formal written proof of the insurance contract between the insurer and the insured. The insurance policy must fully record the rights, obligations, and responsibilities of both parties to the insurance contract. The content recorded in the insurance policy serves as the basis for both parties to fulfill the contract. The insurance policy is proof of the establishment of the insurance contract. Advantages of Electronic Insurance Policies: Saves paper resources, eliminating the need to print insurance proof marks on paper; Saves time and is convenient, not restricted by time or location, with information universally accessible online anytime, fast and easy; Can apply for reissuance or resending, no need to worry about losing it, and if a paper version is needed offline, it can also be printed or mailed; Easy management, with electronic unification making it easier for insurance companies and traffic police departments to manage the insurance information of various vehicles.

I was once caught driving without compulsory traffic insurance and got fined over 2000 RMB with my car impounded, which left me terrified. Compulsory insurance is legally required, and not having it before hitting the road is just asking for trouble. That time, I forgot to renew it in a rush to work, and when the traffic police stopped me, I was stunned—besides the fine, I could have gotten points deducted or even had my license suspended. Luckily, there was no accident, or I’d have had to pay all the compensation myself and might have faced legal action. The solution is simple: stop driving immediately, contact an insurer to reinstate the compulsory insurance—usually done online in minutes. Don’t try to save money or cut corners; this insurance isn’t just for others, it’s basic protection for yourself and everyone else. Set a reminder to check your car and renew coverage on time every year—build good habits and don’t slack off.

Having driven for over a decade, I've encountered numerous accident risks, and lacking compulsory traffic insurance is absolutely asking for trouble. Driving without it and getting pulled over by traffic police will result in a fine of over 2000 yuan and possible vehicle impoundment. Even worse, if an accident occurs, inability to pay compensation could lead to legal troubles. Here's how to handle it: immediately pull over and don't touch the vehicle, quickly reinstate the insurance through the insurance company's app, then take the policy and documents to the traffic police station to settle the violation. From experience, many people forget to renew because they're too busy to notice reminders - I recommend setting up automatic payments through Alipay or WeChat for peace of mind. This insurance only costs a few hundred yuan per year - saving this small amount puts your family's safety at risk, which isn't worth it. Regularly check your insurance validity period to avoid missing it.

As an office worker, I forgot to renew my compulsory traffic insurance and ended up getting fined and penalized—totally regrettable. Driving without compulsory insurance can result in fines starting from over 2000 RMB, and your car gets impounded, which is a huge hassle. You’ll need to quickly buy the insurance and provide proof to retrieve your car. The worst part? If an accident happens, you’ll have to cover all damages for others and yourself, leading to massive financial losses and even affecting your credit record. The solution is simple: stop driving immediately, log onto your insurer’s website via phone to get it done in seconds, submit the required documents, and handle the violation promptly—don’t delay. Set a phone reminder to avoid letting a busy schedule compromise safety. Nowadays, apps have reminder features—make good use of them.

How to Remove Sticker Residue from Car Windows?

Here are the methods to remove stickers from glass: 1. First, peel off the adhesive decoration on the glass or product surface, soak a towel in warm water (hot water in winter), and repeatedly wipe the adhesive residue twice; then apply soap to the wet towel and wipe the residue several times; finally, use a clean warm and wet towel to wipe off the soap foam, and the adhesive residue will be removed. 2. Apply toothpaste evenly on the adhesive surface, then wipe with a soft cloth. Sometimes, if the adhesive is thick and stubborn, reapply toothpaste on the remaining residue to remove the troublesome adhesive. The principle is that toothpaste contains glycerin, which is a good solvent that can dissolve the adhesive components. Additionally, many cosmetics also contain glycerin, which can be used to remove adhesives. 3. Use a pen knife to scrape, suitable for hard surfaces like glass and floor tiles; wipe with alcohol, suitable for glass, floor tiles, and clothing; freeze the adhesive until it hardens, then peel it off directly, suitable for surfaces where alcohol or scraping methods are not advisable.

In terms of body dimensions, the domestic Octavia PRO has a length of 4753mm, a width of 1832mm, a height of 1469mm, and a wheelbase of 2730mm. Below are some related details: Tires: The Octavia PRO uses Maxxis VS5, a sporty tire designed for sedans. The five-spoke dual-tone alloy wheels also feature a sharp design, perfectly complementing the car's sporty vibe. Wheelbase: "Lengthening" has always been one of the essential strategies for overseas brands to meet the needs of local users, especially for family-oriented customers. The larger rear legroom resulting from a longer wheelbase directly impacts the comfort of family members. Therefore, the domestically produced all-new Octavia PRO, also based on the MQB-EVO platform, has a wheelbase that is 50mm longer than its overseas counterpart. The extended wheelbase and body length give the car's side profile a more elongated and elegant appearance.

What does SRC mean in a car?

SRC stands for Synchronous Remote Control, which is the audio source selection button used to switch between CD, USB, radio, Bluetooth audio, or between songs, as well as for tuning radio stations. Similar to a remote control, it is generally located on the multifunction steering wheel of a car. There are generally two types of synchronous remote controls. The first is used in conjunction with a tension system. The tension system is also a synchronous control device, primarily achieving synchronization through quantities such as rotational speed and torque. The second is a spatial positioning controller, which is used for positional synchronization, mainly applied in systems like robots and CNC machine tools for inter-axis coordination, essentially tracking and positioning between axes. When using SRC during radio playback, flicking it upward skips to the next station, while flicking it downward returns to the previous station. For external playback devices, flicking upward skips to the next track, and flicking downward returns to the previous track or the beginning of the current track. Flicking upward and holding it fast-forwards, while flicking downward and holding it rewinds. How to use SRC in a car: During radio playback: Flick upward to skip to the next station; flick downward to return to the previous station. During external device playback: Flick upward to skip to the next track; flick downward to return to the previous track or the beginning of the current track; flick upward and hold to fast-forward; flick downward and hold to rewind.

Are Air Filters and Cabin Air Filters the Same?

Air filters and cabin air filters are not the same. The air filter is used to filter the air entering the engine, removing dust and particles, while the cabin air filter is used to filter the air in the air conditioning system, such as when the AC or outside air circulation is on, removing dust and pollen. Below are the relevant details: 1. The function of the air filter is to finely filter the air entering the engine cylinders, ensuring that sufficient and clean air enters the cylinders. Its cleanliness and unobstructed condition are crucial to the engine's lifespan. Generally, it should be replaced every 10,000 kilometers or about six months. If the vehicle is used in areas with severe smog or willow catkins, it is recommended to replace it every three months. 2. The function of the cabin air filter is to filter the air entering the vehicle cabin from the outside, improving air cleanliness and providing a good air environment for passengers, thereby protecting their health. Under normal circumstances, it is recommended to replace it every six months, but this can be adjusted based on the external driving environment. If the environment is relatively humid or prone to smog, the replacement interval can be shortened appropriately.

What items are generally included in the first maintenance?

The following are the items for the first maintenance of a car: 1. Replace engine oil, oil filter, and clean the air filter; check whether the generator belt and wiper blades are damaged; check whether the levels of various fluids are normal; check whether the tire pressure is normal, and whether there is any tire wear, bulging, or damage; 2. Inspect the car chassis: including brake pads, brake discs, connecting rods, ball joints, and CV joints for any scratches; 3. Check all switches and lights in the car to ensure they are functioning properly. The following are precautions regarding the first maintenance of a car: 1. The first maintenance time is calculated based on the date the car was picked up. 2. There are two indicators for the first maintenance time: mileage and time. Whichever comes first, maintenance must be performed. Exceeding either will affect the warranty. It is worth mentioning that, according to relevant regulations, if the first maintenance date is exceeded, it will be considered as automatically forfeiting the first maintenance rights. 3. If the first maintenance is not performed, future quality issues with the car will not be guaranteed. Most car owners must pay attention to the dealer's reminders. Therefore, car owners must not miss the first maintenance period.
