Will insurance cover scratches on the car if there is no surveillance?

Whether insurance will cover scratches on the car without surveillance depends on various situations, and each case should be treated specifically. Below are the specific explanations regarding insurance compensation: 1. Situation 1: If the car was parked in a paid parking lot or a paid roadside parking space, and it can be proven that the car was scratched there, then the property management of the parking lot or the safety administrator of the parking lot must compensate for the damage. Therefore, if the perpetrator cannot be found, the property management should be responsible for compensation. 2. Situation 2: If the offending vehicle cannot be found, and if your car has a body scratch insurance, you can claim compensation from the insurance company. However, this type of insurance is rarely purchased. If you haven't purchased scratch insurance, you can ask the traffic police to issue a report and claim compensation under the vehicle damage insurance.

Is Slower Speed Always Better for Subject 2 Driving Test?

Slower speed is not always better for the Subject 2 driving test. Here are some key points about the Subject 2 test: 1. Test Items: The Subject 2 test consists of five items: reversing into a garage, starting on a slope, S-curve driving, parallel parking, and right-angle turning. Subject 2 is widely considered the most challenging part of the driving test due to its high failure rate. 2. Test Tips: During the Subject 2 test, remember that slower speeds make it easier to match the memorized reference points for reversing. Just control the clutch properly—press it more if the speed is too fast, and press it less while adding some throttle if the speed is too slow. The ideal condition for passing Subject 2 is: very slow speed without stalling the engine. This state requires focused practice during regular training sessions.

How to Identify Whether It's a New Car?

To identify a new car, you can check the odometer, body appearance, car tires, exhaust pipe, and manufacturing date, among other information. Here are some relevant introductions about identifying a new car: 1. Check the odometer: When picking up the car, it's possible that the odometer reading of the new car is not zero, which is a normal phenomenon. This is because a new car usually undergoes testing after production and may need to be moved during transportation. 2. Check the body appearance: Inspect the entire body appearance for any signs of repair. Repainted areas will differ from the original paint. A careful buyer can spot these differences by examining the car from various angles. Additionally, check for fingernail scratches under the four door handles. Test drive cars and display cars will more or less have scratches. Unscrupulous 4S shops might not address these, and even if they try to cover them up, it's usually easy to tell.

How to Modify a Car Legally?

Car modifications are generally allowed for interior parts as long as they do not affect safe driving. However, seats cannot be removed, and the internal structure of the car cannot be altered. If you need to change the body color, replace the engine, or modify the body or frame, you must register these changes with the vehicle management office within ten days after the modification. Here are some relevant details about car modifications: 1. Exterior Modifications: First, regarding exterior modifications, changing the paint color is generally acceptable, but the paint job must not imitate public service vehicles such as police cars or fire trucks. 2. Interior Modifications: As long as they do not interfere with normal driving, interior modifications are also permitted. However, the car's structure cannot be altered. For example, a 5-seater car cannot be converted into a 7-seater, and vice versa. Therefore, the common practice of removing rear seats in minivans is strictly penalized by traffic police.

How to Drive a Manual-Automatic Transmission Car for Better Fuel Efficiency?

There are several aspects to pay attention to when driving a manual-automatic transmission car for better fuel efficiency. Below are the key considerations for saving fuel with a manual-automatic transmission: 1. Starting: Start gently. The best method is to let the car warm up for about a minute after starting (longer in winter), then let the car move slowly and gradually increase the throttle. Once the water temperature and other indicators are normal, you can drive as usual. 2. On slopes: When going uphill, shifting to the left (manual mode) saves fuel, while automatic acceleration consumes more. Before ascending, maintaining a speed above 50 km/h saves fuel, whereas lower speeds consume more. When descending a long slope, using manual mode saves fuel, while automatic mode consumes more. 3. Long-distance driving: During long-distance cruising, using manual mode saves fuel, while automatic mode consumes more.
