What lights to use when turning at a signal-controlled intersection?

When turning at a signal-controlled intersection, activate the left or right turn signal. Function of turn signals: As signal lights, turn signals primarily serve to alert surrounding vehicles during daily driving, indicating an impending turn and prompting other vehicles to yield to avoid collisions. Whenever a vehicle needs to steer away from its current lane, the turn signal should be activated in advance, which is a fundamental principle of safe driving. Precautions for using turn signals: Pay attention to traffic signals; proceed when the light is green, and be especially mindful that some intersections may have dedicated turn signals for right turns. When entering an intersection with designated turn lanes, activate the turn signal before entering the lane. Turning it on too early may give trailing vehicles the impression that the signal was left on by mistake, while turning it on too late may cause accidents due to insufficient reaction time for trailing vehicles or pedestrians.

How long after the insurance company tows the car will the damage assessment be conducted?

Generally, after receiving an accident report, the insurance company will arrange for an assessor to conduct an on-site damage assessment. However, there are cases where you may be required to drive the car to a repair shop for assessment, and some insurance companies may directly authorize the repair shop to perform the assessment on their behalf. More information about damage assessment is as follows: 1. Overview: When an insured vehicle is involved in a traffic accident, the first thing the insurance company does is to inspect the damage to the insured vehicle at the accident scene. Vehicle damage assessment is based on automotive construction principles, utilizing scientific, systematic, and professional inspection, testing, and surveying methods to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the collision and accident scene. By applying vehicle damage estimation data and repair information, a scientific and systematic estimation and pricing of the collision repair is performed. 2. Other Information: After the damage assessment, the repair costs must first be paid. The vehicle owner must pay the repair fees to the repair shop, and then the insurance company will transfer the compensation to the owner's account under the same name. The insurance company will transfer the money to the policyholder's account within three days. In the event of a major accident where the accident liability, insurance liability, and damage assessment amount are determined, and it is difficult to provide the compensation payment immediately, a prepayment application can be submitted. The insurance company will make an advance payment of no less than 50% of the assessed amount within 3 working days.

Can I claim insurance for a bumper collision?

Within 24 hours, call the insurance company to report the vehicle damage. After inspection, the insurance company will arrange for free repairs. More information about bumpers is as follows: 1. Overview: The car bumper is a safety device that absorbs and mitigates external impacts, protecting the front and rear of the vehicle body. Many years ago, front and rear bumpers were made of steel plates pressed into channel steel, riveted or welded to the frame longitudinal beams, leaving a significant gap from the vehicle body, which looked very unattractive. With the development of the automotive industry and the extensive use of engineering plastics, car bumpers, as an important safety device, have also undergone innovation. Today, front and rear bumpers not only maintain their original protective functions but also strive for harmony and unity with the vehicle's styling and pursue lightweight design. The front and rear bumpers of cars are made of plastic, known as plastic bumpers. Typically, a car's plastic bumper consists of three parts: the outer panel, cushioning material, and crossbeam. The outer panel and cushioning material are made of plastic, while the crossbeam is formed by cold-rolled sheet metal pressed into a U-shaped channel; the outer panel and cushioning material are attached to the crossbeam. 2. Other Information: One claim is free, two claims result in a 25% premium increase, three claims lead to a 50% premium increase, four claims result in a 75% premium increase, and five or more claims double the premium. New cars that have not made any claims in the previous year enjoy a 15% discount on premiums. Two consecutive years without claims result in a 30% discount, and three consecutive years without claims lead to a 40% discount.
