Auto insurance products include Compulsory Traffic Accident Liability Insurance, Third-Party Liability Insurance, and Vehicle Damage Insurance, among others. Compulsory Traffic Accident Liability Insurance: This is a mandatory liability insurance where the insurance company compensates for bodily injury, death, or property damage caused to victims (excluding the vehicle's occupants and the insured) in road traffic accidents involving the insured vehicle, within the liability limits. Compulsory Traffic Accident Liability Insurance is China's first mandatory insurance system implemented under national law. Third-Party Liability Insurance: This refers to insurance where the insurer compensates for direct bodily injury, death, or property damage suffered by a third party due to an accident caused by a qualified driver permitted by the insured while using the insured vehicle. The compensation amount, which the insured is legally obligated to pay, is covered by the insurer according to the terms of the insurance contract. Vehicle Damage Insurance: This insurance covers the loss or damage to the insured vehicle caused by natural disasters (excluding earthquakes) or accidents within the scope of insurance liability. The insurer provides compensation based on the terms stipulated in the insurance contract.

There are quite a few types of car insurance. When I bought my car, I found that the common ones include compulsory traffic insurance, which is a government-mandated policy covering basic third-party liability compensation. Third-party liability insurance is also very important—for instance, if you hit someone or damage property, it covers the compensation to prevent emptying your wallet. Vehicle damage insurance repairs your own car's damages, such as those from accidents or natural disasters. Theft insurance addresses the risk of vehicle theft, especially useful for friends living in cities. Passenger liability insurance protects the safety of passengers, a must-have for family trips. Additionally, there's glass insurance specifically for window repairs, spontaneous combustion insurance for issues with older cars, no-deductible insurance to reduce out-of-pocket expenses, and scratch insurance to cover minor scrapes. Choosing the right combination can save both worry and money. I recommend beginners start with the basic three.

Can a Broken Tail Light Cover Be Repaired?

Tail light cover damage cannot be repaired; it requires replacement with a new tail light cover. Below is relevant information on car maintenance: 1. Changing Engine Oil and Oil Filter: Replacing the engine oil and oil filter is primarily aimed at maintaining the lubrication system. Under normal circumstances, a car should undergo maintenance every 5,000 kilometers. 2. Replacing Air Filters: The purpose of the air filter is to filter the air before it enters the cylinders, removing impurities such as dust, sand, and other foreign particles. The cleaning and maintenance of the air filter depend on the usage environment. The gasoline filter generally needs replacement after traveling 20,000 to 25,000 kilometers. 3. Replacing Spark Plugs: Spark plugs are consumable parts and should be replaced every 20,000 kilometers.

What is the fault when the brake light stays on after the car is turned off?

Here is the fault analysis for when the brake light stays on after the car is turned off: 1. Lack of brake fluid: Brake fluid plays a crucial role in the car's braking system. When the driver steps on the brake pedal, the force applied is transmitted by the piston in the master cylinder through the brake fluid to the brake calipers at each wheel, causing the brake pads to contact the wheels and stop the vehicle. A lack of brake fluid can cause the brake light to stay on. 2. Damaged tail light bulb: The brake fluid reservoir has upper and lower lines. If the brake fluid in the reservoir is below the lower line, the sensor next to the reservoir will detect this and reflect it through the brake light on the dashboard. If the brake fluid level drops rapidly, it indicates a leak in the braking system. 3. Hand brake: Note that if you drive without releasing the hand brake, the light will also stay on. Therefore, check whether the hand brake is released.

How to Make Modified Cars Legal for Road Use?

Modified cars can be made legal for road use through the following methods: 1. Exterior modifications: You can achieve this through decals or car wraps, but the area covered must be within 30% of the vehicle's surface to be considered a legal modification; 2. Body color modifications: The modified color cannot exceed three main tones. After modification, you must complete the change procedures at the vehicle management office within ten days and obtain a new driver's license; 3. Safety considerations: Interior modifications must be done without compromising driving safety; 4. Other aspects: Small or micro passenger cars can have their front and rear anti-collision devices modified if damaged. Adding windshields, water tanks, spare tires, etc., to cargo motor vehicles does not require change registration and is legal, but modifications must not obscure the license plate or affect driving.

How Far Can You Drive When the Car's Fuel Gauge Shows 0 km?

When a car's fuel gauge shows 0 km, for a typical family car, it can usually continue to drive for another 20-30 kilometers without any issues. However, the exact distance depends on the vehicle model and the driver's habits. Below are some details about driving when the fuel gauge shows 0 km: 1. Actual remaining fuel when the gauge shows 0 km: Generally, when the fuel warning light comes on, a standard family car still has about 5 liters of fuel left. The exact remaining fuel can be found in the vehicle's user manual. For example, a Passat, being a mid-size car, has about 9 liters of fuel left when the warning light comes on—larger fuel tanks naturally hold more remaining fuel. 2. Precautions when driving with the fuel gauge at 0 km: Factors such as the driver's skill, road conditions, and weather can affect fuel consumption. If the fuel warning light comes on while driving on a highway, it's advisable to maintain a steady speed in the right lane and turn off the air conditioning to maximize fuel efficiency.

What do P, R, N, D, S mean on an automatic transmission car?

The meanings of P, R, N, D, S on an automatic transmission car are as follows: 1. P (Park): Parking gear, used when parking for a long time. For example, when you arrive at your destination and need to park to run errands, you should shift to P gear. 2. R (Reverse): Reverse gear, used when backing up. The only thing to note is to wait until the vehicle comes to a complete stop before shifting into reverse to avoid damaging the transmission. 3. N (Neutral): Neutral gear. Used when parking for a short time, such as at traffic lights or other situations requiring brief stops. 4. D (Drive): Forward gear. 'One D gear to rule them all' refers to this—step on the gas and go. Of course, this is not a scientific approach as using D gear for all road conditions can harm the vehicle. Different gears should be selected based on road conditions. 5. S (Sport): Sport gear. This gear provides powerful acceleration. It's the dedicated gear for overtaking or when you want to speed up. Under the same fuel consumption, shifting into this gear allows for faster acceleration.
