Motor vehicles generally require compulsory insurance, including compulsory traffic accident liability insurance, vehicle damage insurance, third-party liability insurance, and no-deductible insurance. Below are detailed introductions of each insurance: Compulsory Traffic Accident Liability Insurance: Full name is "Compulsory Traffic Accident Liability Insurance for Motor Vehicles". Driving without this insurance is illegal. Vehicle Damage Insurance: This insurance compensates for vehicle damage, reducing losses from collisions and other damages. Third-Party Liability Insurance: In case of an accident causing losses to a third party, the owner can receive corresponding compensation. After the auto insurance reform, the coverage of vehicle damage insurance has expanded, incorporating previously optional insurances like no-deductible insurance and water damage insurance into the vehicle damage insurance, alleviating some car owners' difficulty in choosing.

I've been driving for over a decade and often discuss car insurance with friends. There's only one mandatory basic coverage - the statutory third-party liability insurance, which covers others' bodily injuries and property damage in accidents. Driving without it is illegal, and traffic police will impose fines and deduct points if caught. I advise new drivers not to skimp on this - the premium is affordable, just a few hundred yuan annually, but can save you huge compensation costs in case of accidents. While voluntary coverages like vehicle damage or theft insurance are useful depending on budget, compulsory insurance is absolutely essential. I always check this first at renewal time for peace of mind. By the way, adding water damage coverage brings extra security if driving in remote areas with poor road conditions.

Is the MG ZS lens a bi-xenon lens?

MG ZS lens is a bi-xenon lens. The function of car light lens: The car light lens can reflect the scattered light of the bulb into parallel beams, greatly enhancing the brightness and ensuring sufficient illumination within a range of 150-400M in front of the car. At the same time, in the low-beam state, the light does not diverge, but the ground illumination effect is good, which will not cause glare and will not affect the normal driving of the oncoming vehicle. Types of car light lenses: Lenses are divided into two types, one is a single-beam lens, and the other is a bi-xenon lens. A single-beam lens controls one bulb and is a dedicated product. The high and low beams of a single-beam lens are separate, while a bi-xenon lens can switch between high and low beams through the internal shutter of the lens.

What are the reasons for the BMW 325 fan not spinning?

BMW 325 fan not spinning reasons introduction: Coolant temperature not reaching standard: Most modern car radiator fans operate with electronic temperature control, so the fan usually only starts spinning normally when the engine coolant reaches the required temperature. If the temperature is too low, the radiator fan won't spin. Therefore, when the car radiator fan fails to spin, the first thing to check is whether the coolant temperature meets the requirement. Relay malfunction: If the relay malfunctions, the car's radiator fan won't work either. Thermostat switch problem: If there are no issues with the above two aspects, then you should check the thermostat switch. Sometimes faults can occur here, which can also affect the operation of the car radiator fan, so this should also be checked.
