The mandatory insurances for sedans are as follows: 1. Compulsory Traffic Accident Liability Insurance (CTALI): CTALI is mandatory by the state, and without it, you cannot even get a license plate, so it must be purchased. However, due to the limited coverage and compensation of CTALI, supplementary commercial auto insurance is necessary. 2. Third-party Liability Insurance: This refers to the maximum amount the insurance company will pay in the event of an accident. It compensates for property damage and personal injuries caused to a third party, serving as a supplement to CTALI. 3. Vehicle Damage Insurance: While CTALI and Third-party Liability Insurance cover compensation for others, Vehicle Damage Insurance covers compensation for your own car. For example, repair costs incurred after an insured accident, including daily collisions, scratches, and damages caused by falling objects or various natural disasters, even losses incurred during ferry transport, as long as they fall within the coverage of Vehicle Damage Insurance, can be claimed. Moreover, the coverage of Vehicle Damage Insurance has become more extensive than before.

As an enthusiast who frequently researches cars, I believe the mandatory insurance for sedans is compulsory traffic insurance, commonly known as compulsory third-party liability insurance (CTPL). The state mandates that this must be purchased; otherwise, the vehicle cannot be driven legally, will fail annual inspections, and may incur fines. Its purpose is to cover the other party's medical expenses and damages in case of an accident—basic but essential coverage. Having driven many cars, I can say that going without it is as dangerous as driving without a seatbelt. By the way, while commercial insurance like third-party liability or comprehensive coverage isn't mandatory, I highly recommend opting for higher coverage limits. It can save you major headaches in case of accidents involving luxury cars or injuries. Always check your policy before driving to avoid last-minute panic. Compulsory insurance is a legal obligation—don’t risk it to save a few bucks. Ultimately, peace of mind on the road is what matters most.

As a new driver who just got my license, I only realized the necessity of compulsory insurance when buying a car. The insurance company explained it's called compulsory traffic insurance, which is legally mandated - you can't even get license plates without it. In case of an accident, it covers compensation for victims, protecting me from bankruptcy due to hefty payouts. I initially thought just choosing commercial insurance would suffice, but was reminded that compulsory insurance takes priority. Other options like passenger insurance or theft coverage are optional. I learned my lesson: always ensure this insurance is in place before driving to avoid endless troubles later. Beginners tend to overlook details - this safeguards security.

What Age is Suitable for Child Safety Seats?

Child safety seats come in various types, each designed for different age groups. Infant seats are suitable for children under one year old, toddler seats for children under four years old, and child seats for children under six years old. The weight of the child using an infant seat should not be less than eight kilograms, while toddler seats are designed for children under four years old. These safety seats are customized based on the child's growth and development as well as individual needs. A child safety seat is specifically designed for children of different weights (or age groups), securing the child in the seat to effectively enhance their safety during car rides. In the event of a car collision or sudden deceleration, it can reduce the impact force on the child and limit their body movement, thereby minimizing injuries.

Causes of Insufficient Engine Oil Pressure

Causes of insufficient engine oil pressure: 1. Insufficient engine oil storage, resulting in low oil pressure. Solution: Add engine oil; 2. Dirty or viscous engine oil, preventing the oil pump from drawing in or pumping out oil, leading to low or no oil pressure. Solution: Change the engine oil; 3. Thinned engine oil leaking from the gaps between engine friction pairs, causing low oil pressure. Solution: Change the engine oil or repair the cooling system; 4. Faulty oil sensor, pressure gauge, or circuit leading to low oil pressure. Solution: Replace or inspect; 5. Oil pipe leakage, damaged oil pump, or excessive wear of its components, such as excessive clearance between the crankshaft and bearing shells, or malfunction of the pressure relief valve due to weak springs or damaged steel balls, all of which reduce oil intake and output, resulting in low or no oil pressure.

Are There Street Lights on Highways?

Generally, there are no street lights installed on regular sections of highways. Here is more information about highways: 1. Highways are a special type of road, fully enclosed with controlled access. The enclosure method involves using barriers to prevent pedestrians, non-motorized vehicles, and animals from entering the highway. Although there is no lighting at night, some signs and markings have retroreflective properties and will reflect light. With the illumination from vehicle headlights, the edges and direction of the road can be clearly seen, including signs that provide warnings and important information, so there is no need to worry about collisions with other objects. 2. Along highways, service areas are set up approximately every 50 kilometers, equipped with gas stations, parking lots, rest areas, restaurants, restrooms, and auto repair shops. Service areas are essential supporting facilities within the highway system, providing necessary safety measures for long-distance travel.

Can a Car in the Break-in Period Drive on the Highway?

It is possible for a car to drive on the highway during the break-in period, but it is recommended to keep the speed below 100 kilometers per hour and the engine RPM below 2,500. Here is more information about the car break-in period: 1. The break-in period generally refers to the initial operation process where mechanical components come into contact, rub, and mesh. During this period, it is essential to control the driving speed. 2. Taking the car on the highway during the break-in period not only tests its performance at high speeds but also helps clear engine carbon deposits caused by low-speed driving. Maintaining a speed of 100 kilometers per hour on the highway for about two hours is advisable, followed by a proper rest. Once the car has covered over 3,000 kilometers during the break-in period, it will reach an optimal condition.

Why does the ABS light come on after a vehicle inspection?

After a vehicle inspection, the ABS light may come on because the four wheels of the car rotate at different speeds during the inspection process, causing the computer to collect incorrect speed data and triggering the light. If the self-check is normal after driving a few kilometers, the ABS light will automatically turn off. Here is more information about ABS: 1. ABS is part of the safety system. Its function is to prevent wheel lock-up during braking on slippery roads, thereby avoiding loss of vehicle control. 2. On smooth dry roads, loose gravel, loose soil, or deep snow-covered roads, the ABS system may not provide the shortest braking distance.
