The essential insurance types for new cars include: 1. Compulsory Traffic Accident Liability Insurance; 2. Vehicle Damage Insurance; 3. Third-party Liability Insurance. Compulsory Traffic Accident Liability Insurance is a mandatory requirement by the state and must be purchased for every vehicle on the road. Vehicle Damage Insurance primarily safeguards the property safety of the car. Third-party Liability Insurance is used to protect the life or property safety of others. These three types of insurance are known as the three must-have car insurances. If the budget for purchasing car insurance is limited, these three insurances can maximize protection. Benefits of purchasing insurance reasonably: 1. It allows insurance companies to regulate the behavior of car owners through premium control, making them more cautious while driving; 2. In case of vehicle damage, repairs can be carried out, saving on repair costs and ensuring better repair services; 3. It protects the legal rights of third parties in accidents, mainly through Compulsory Traffic Accident Liability Insurance and Third-party Liability Insurance.

I just bought a new car and did a lot of research to figure out which insurances are mandatory. Compulsory traffic insurance is a must—it's required by the government, and driving without it can lead to fines. For a new car, it's advisable to get vehicle damage insurance. My car got scratched once, and the repair cost thousands, but thankfully, the insurance covered it. Third-party liability insurance is crucial—if you hit someone or another car, the compensation could be sky-high, so opting for a 1 million coverage limit is more reassuring. The no-deductible insurance is a must-add; it costs a bit more in premiums but means you don’t have to pay out of pocket when making a claim. As for theft insurance, since I live downtown where car thieves are common, adding it is safer. Oh, and new cars are prone to scratches, so considering paint scratch insurance is wise—otherwise, minor damages will cost you to fix. In short, combining these insurances protects both the car and the driver. In the first year of driving, when experience is lacking, don’t skimp on this money—peace of mind during claims is what matters most.

As someone who has driven for several years, I believe practical choices are key for new car insurance: compulsory traffic insurance is the legal minimum, you can't skip it. Collision coverage is valuable for new car owners - repairs are expensive; my colleague saved thousands when his car hit a tree. Don't skimp on third-party liability coverage - with today's high medical costs, 500K+ coverage brings peace of mind. No-deductible coverage is essential protection, paying a bit extra eliminates claim hassles. Theft coverage depends on parking security - I skipped it as my neighborhood is safe. Glass coverage is optional, only consider if you frequently drive highways with a new car. These are the core coverages - don't get upsold useless add-ons. Cost-wise, premiums are reasonable for the first two years, and claim-free driving earns discounts, making it cost-effective long-term.

Should You Pay First or Inspect the Car First When Picking Up a Vehicle at a 4S Store?

At a car 4S store, you should pay first and then inspect the vehicle. Points to note during the inspection: 1. Choose a place with good outdoor lighting to check if there are any damages, dents, color differences, paint peeling, or missing accessories on the vehicle's surface; 2. Verify whether the vehicle's production date is more than 3 months old. The location of the nameplate is usually on the door frame of the front passenger seat; 3. Check if the VIN is correct and whether the date information on it matches that on the nameplate; 4. Open the trunk to inspect if the accompanying tools, such as the warning triangle, jack, and spare tire accessories, are complete; 5. Open the engine hood to check if the engine compartment is clean and pay attention to any signs of oil leakage.

What are the types of vehicle speed sensors?

Vehicle speed sensors are categorized into magnetic speed sensors, Hall-effect speed sensors, and optical speed sensors. The vehicle speed sensor is a device used to detect the speed of electronically controlled vehicles. The control computer utilizes this input signal to regulate engine idle speed, torque converter lock-up in automatic transmissions, automatic transmission shifting, activation/deactivation of engine cooling fans, cruise control functions, and other operations. Typically installed in the drive axle housing or transmission case, the sensor's signal wires are encased in shielded conduits to mitigate electromagnetic and radio frequency interference from high-voltage ignition systems and electronic equipment. This ensures uninterrupted electronic communication and prevents degraded driving performance.

Can car wheels be replaced with larger models?

Car wheels can be replaced with larger models. Changing the size of wheels and tires requires filing with the vehicle management office to update the vehicle registration certificate for normal transfer and annual inspection. The wheel hub is the metal component mounted on the axle that supports the tire, also known as the rim or steel wheel. Wheel hubs come in various types based on diameter, width, manufacturing method, and material. Increasing the rim size while keeping the tire's outer diameter unchanged requires switching to tires with a lower aspect ratio. This results in a thinner tire section, enhancing visual appeal. Although low-aspect-ratio tires have a larger contact area and stronger friction with the ground, they also increase fuel consumption and accelerate tire wear. Additionally, the car's shock absorption performance is significantly weakened, making even minor bumps clearly noticeable inside the vehicle, thereby reducing comfort.
