Below are the pros and cons of domestic cars: Pros: 1. Rich configurations; Domestic cars offer more abundant configurations in terms of intelligence, technological features, and active/passive safety compared to joint-venture cars, many of which are cross-level configurations. 2. Spacious interiors; Besides cross-level configurations, domestic cars often provide cross-level space arrangements. 3. Lower prices; Cons: 1. Mediocre power tuning; Many self-developed engines by domestic brands appear excellent on paper in terms of parameters, but they don't hold an advantage in acceleration performance and fuel consumption compared to joint-venture cars.

What does 'turning off the AC to protect the engine' mean?

It refers to the engine's high-temperature protection, which is a normal phenomenon. Precautions to take: 1. Avoid immediately opening the cap to add water when the engine overheats: After the water in the radiator boils, there is internal pressure. If the radiator cap is opened immediately, hot water may spray out, causing burns. Therefore, drivers should never open the cap to add water right after the engine overheats. 2. Avoid turning off the engine immediately after overheating: Some drivers think of turning off the engine immediately upon noticing overheating. However, the engine overheats because the water temperature in the radiator is too high. Turning off the engine at this point can cause components to remain in an expanded state with very small clearances, leading to soft metal parts falling off or even cylinder sticking. Thus, do not turn off the engine immediately after overheating; instead, keep it idling. If the car has already stalled, immediately use the crank to turn the engine to prevent cylinder sticking. 3. Avoid splashing cold water on the engine: When the engine temperature is too high, do not splash cold water on it. Some people forget to add coolant when starting the car and, upon noticing the high temperature, pour cold water on the engine block or cylinder head to cool it down. This can have severe consequences, such as causing the engine block to crack due to sudden cooling, leading to irreparable damage.

Does Compulsory Traffic Insurance Cover Flooded Vehicles?

Compulsory traffic insurance does not cover flooded vehicles because it is designed to compensate third-party vehicles and individuals. Vehicle damage can only be claimed if you have purchased vehicle damage insurance. Compulsory traffic insurance is mandatory by the state, and it is required for vehicles to legally operate on the road. According to Article 95 of the Road Traffic Safety Law: If a motor vehicle driven on the road does not display an inspection compliance mark or insurance mark, or if the driver fails to carry the vehicle registration certificate or driving license, the traffic management department of the public security organ shall detain the vehicle, notify the party to provide the corresponding certificates or marks, or complete the necessary 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 Vehicles: The full name of compulsory traffic insurance is "Compulsory Liability Insurance for Motor Vehicle Traffic Accidents." It is a mandatory liability insurance where the insurance company compensates for personal injuries, deaths, and property losses of victims (excluding vehicle occupants and the insured) caused by road traffic accidents involving the insured vehicle, within the liability limits. The premium is based on a nationally unified standard. However, the price of compulsory traffic insurance varies depending on the vehicle type, with the main influencing factor being the number of seats. Compared to the over 20 exemption clauses in commercial third-party liability insurance, compulsory traffic insurance covers a much broader range, including losses caused by intentional actions of the victim, property losses of the insured, related arbitration and litigation costs, and certain indirect losses from accidents. Moreover, regardless of whether the insured vehicle is at fault in an accident, compulsory traffic insurance will compensate within the liability limits, with no deductible or exemption. Introduction to Electronic Insurance Policies An electronic insurance policy refers to a digital policy issued by an insurance company using digital signature software and enterprise digital certificates that comply with the PKI system, bearing the electronic signature of the insurance company. An insurance policy, commonly referred to as a policy, is the official 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 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; Time-saving and convenient, unrestricted by time or location, with information accessible online anytime, quickly and easily; Allows for reissuance or resending, eliminating concerns about loss. If a paper version is needed offline, it can be printed or mailed; Simplifies management, as electronic standardization makes it easier for insurance companies and traffic police departments to manage vehicle insurance information.

Is the Insurance Transferred Along with the Used Car?

When transferring ownership of a used car, the insurance must undergo a separate transfer procedure to be reassigned to the new owner. For some vehicles, compulsory traffic insurance can be directly transferred with the car, eliminating the need for a separate process. Typically, if the original insurance of the used car has not expired, after completing the ownership transfer, the new owner should update the registration certificate details, obtain new license plates and the vehicle registration booklet, and then both parties can proceed with the insurance transfer and hand over the insurance policy. According to the "Insurance Law," when the subject matter of insurance is transferred, the transferee inherits the rights and obligations of the insured. This clause is designed to protect the interests of the insured and fundamentally resolves past disputes arising from the transfer of the insured subject matter. However, it is important to remind car owners that the law also stipulates that the insured or transferee must promptly notify the insurer of any transfer of the insured subject matter. If the insured or transferee fails to fulfill this notification obligation and an insurance incident occurs due to a significant increase in risk caused by the transfer, the insurer will not be liable for compensation. Relevant regulations are as follows: Article 18 of the "Regulations on the Registration of Motor Vehicles": When the ownership of a registered motor vehicle is transferred, the current owner must apply for a transfer registration with the local vehicle management office within 30 days from the date of delivery. Article 19: To apply for a transfer registration, the current owner must complete an application form, present the vehicle for inspection, and submit the following documents: proof of identity of the current owner; proof and documentation of the ownership transfer; the vehicle registration certificate; the vehicle license; for vehicles under customs supervision, a "Customs Release Certificate" or customs-approved transfer document must also be submitted; for vehicles exceeding the inspection validity period, a valid vehicle safety inspection certificate and compulsory traffic insurance certificate must be provided. Article 19 of the "Used Car Circulation Management Measures": After the completion of a used car transaction, the seller must promptly deliver the vehicle, license plates, and legal documents to the buyer. Legal documents include: the "Motor Vehicle Registration Certificate"; the "Motor Vehicle License"; a valid vehicle safety inspection certificate; proof of payment of vehicle purchase tax; road maintenance fee payment receipt; vehicle and vessel tax payment receipt; and the vehicle insurance policy. Methods for handling insurance after a used car transfer: The first method is to change the policy holder. This is straightforward: after the vehicle is transferred at the vehicle management office, the new owner brings the transfer receipt, a copy of the vehicle license, the original insurance policy, and their ID card along with the original policy holder's ID to the original insurance company to complete a transfer application form. The second method is to apply for a policy cancellation. Canceling the policy only requires paying the premium from the start date to the cancellation date, with the remaining premium refunded by the insurer. The new owner can then choose any insurance company to purchase new coverage. The original owner needs the policy and their ID card to cancel, while the new owner only needs the new vehicle license or transfer proof to apply for new insurance. Precautions for personal used car transfers: Verify the embossed number, engine number, and registration date on the title deed for any alterations. Before transferring ownership, check for any outstanding traffic violations and ensure the vehicle's compulsory insurance is valid. Only vehicles with no violations and valid insurance can be transferred. Check for the vehicle purchase tax payment receipt. Unpaid or tax-exempt vehicles may be required to pay the tax after transfer. When purchasing from a brokerage, a formal contract is signed. For private transactions, a written agreement should also be signed and kept as proof. Discuss in advance who will cover the transfer fees and inspection fees, and ensure both parties are present for insurance cancellation and transfer procedures.
