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 the driver fails to carry the vehicle license or driving 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 corresponding procedures, and may impose penalties in accordance with the provisions of Article 90 of this Law (a warning or a fine of not less than 20 yuan but not more than 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 in which the insurance company compensates for the personal injury, death, and property loss of the victim (excluding the vehicle personnel and the insured) caused by a road traffic accident of the insured motor vehicle within the liability limit. The premium is based on the nationally unified charging standard. However, the price of compulsory traffic insurance varies depending on the type of vehicle, with the main influencing factor being the number of car seats. Compared to the more than 20 exemption clauses of commercial third-party insurance, the exemption scope of compulsory traffic insurance covers losses caused by intentional acts of the victim, property losses of the insured, related arbitration and litigation costs, and some indirect losses caused by accidents, with a much broader coverage. Moreover, regardless of whether the insured vehicle is at fault in the accident, compulsory traffic insurance will compensate within the liability limit. Introduction to Electronic Insurance Policies An electronic insurance policy refers to an electronic policy issued by an insurance company with its electronic signature, using digital signature software and enterprise digital certificates that comply with the PKI system. The insurance policy, abbreviated as the policy, is the formal written proof of the insurance contract between the insurer and the insured. The policy must fully record the rights, obligations, and responsibilities of both parties to the insurance contract. The content recorded in the policy is the basis for the performance of both parties. The 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; Saves time and is convenient, not restricted by time or place, with information universally available online at any time, quick and easy; Can apply for reissuance or resending, no need to worry about losing it. 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 each vehicle.

I remember last year when I drove out without renewing the compulsory traffic insurance, and was stopped by traffic police for a document check halfway. They found I had no insurance, and my car was impounded on the spot. When I went to the traffic police station to settle it, the fine was twice the insurance premium. Not only did I spend a huge amount of extra money, but I also got 3 points deducted from my driver's license. What a headache! The car was impounded for three days, and I had to pay daily parking fees, not to mention the greater loss from work delays. Since then, I've learned my lesson - renewing the insurance on time not only saves trouble but also protects myself and compensates others in case of an accident. Driving without it is just asking for trouble, with fines, towing, and a pile of hassles, wasting time and money.

I heard from my neighbor that if a car doesn't have compulsory traffic insurance and gets into an accident, the consequences are much worse. You'd have to pay all the compensation for the other party's injuries out of your own pocket, which is a huge financial burden. Normally, if the traffic police stop you and find you don't have insurance, the penalties can range from fines and demerit points to having your car impounded, or even having your driver's license revoked, which would seriously affect your mobility. Later, if you try to make up for the insurance, you'd still have to pay backdated fees—it's just not worth it. Compulsory traffic insurance is mandated by law, costing only about a thousand yuan a year for peace of mind. It ensures everyone's safety in case of an accident, so never risk driving without it just to save money.

Driving without compulsory traffic insurance typically results in a fine double the insurance premium. For instance, a 950 yuan premium leads to a 1900 yuan fine, not including additional costs like towing fees or vehicle impoundment losses. I've experienced this firsthand—a single oversight cost me nearly 2000 yuan extra, wiping out any savings from skipping the insurance. Timely insurance purchase avoids these financial pitfalls and shares accident compensation burdens.

How to Make the Battery Last Longer?

Methods to extend battery life: 1. Maintain the habit of charging as you use, avoid waiting until the vehicle's battery is completely depleted before charging, prevent overcharging and over-discharging, and reduce the number of full charge and discharge cycles; 2. Prefer slow charging methods and minimize the use of DC fast charging; 3. Keep the battery adequately charged when the vehicle is idle. Leaving an electric vehicle in a state of low charge can easily block the ion channels, leading to insufficient charging and a decrease in battery capacity; 4. Drive smoothly to reduce sudden acceleration. Instantaneous high-current discharge during driving can easily lead to the formation of lead sulfate crystals, damaging the physical performance of the battery plates; 5. Protect the electric vehicle's charging equipment. Deformation of the charger, poor contact, or oxidation of the contact surface can cause the charging plug to overheat or even short-circuit, damaging the charger and subsequently the battery.
