Compulsory traffic insurance covers losses caused to third parties (excluding the insured vehicle and its occupants), regardless of fault. Below is an introduction to relevant knowledge about compulsory traffic insurance: Definition: Compulsory traffic insurance [full name: Compulsory Traffic Accident Liability Insurance for Motor Vehicles] is China's first mandatory insurance system implemented by national law. Insurance Liability: In the event of a traffic accident while using the insured vehicle, resulting in personal injury, death, or property loss to victims, for which the insured is legally liable for damages, the insurance company will compensate within the specified limits for each accident as per the agreement.

As a seasoned driver with over a decade of experience, besides the mandatory compulsory insurance, I always add several commercial insurance policies. The vehicle damage insurance covers my own car—if there's a scratch or accident requiring thousands in repairs, it handles reimbursement effortlessly. I also highly recommend passenger liability insurance, especially for long-distance trips, as it covers medical expenses for both myself and passengers in case of accidents. Additionally, I supplement with third-party liability insurance since compulsory insurance pays too little—I worry that hitting someone could cost millions, so I increase the coverage. I also opt for theft and glass coverage, as car thefts and windshield cracks from flying stones are common, making insurance worthwhile. The zero-deductible coverage is a must—it ensures no out-of-pocket costs during claims, just a few hundred extra per year for much greater peace of mind. I often discuss with fellow drivers—don’t skimp on these small expenses; the real loss comes when you can’t afford repairs or compensation.

As a young person who just bought a car, I knew that compulsory traffic insurance is legally required, but it only covers others, not my own car or myself. So I added other insurances, like vehicle damage insurance to protect my car—no worries about repairing scratches on a new car. Passenger liability insurance is crucial, covering medical costs for me and my friends, giving peace of mind when driving at night. I also considered scratch insurance since new car paint is expensive, and minor scratches can be fixed quickly. Theft insurance sounds scary, but I bought it anyway—living in the city makes me worry about car theft. These extra premiums aren’t much, just a few thousand a year, spread out affordably. Checking online guides helps pick the right coverage—unlike my friend who skipped it and faced big trouble.

Having worked in the auto repair industry for many years, I've seen too many car owners regret only purchasing compulsory traffic insurance. Compulsory insurance only covers third-party accidents and doesn't pay a penny for your own vehicle damage - repairs can cost thousands. I recommend adding comprehensive coverage to protect your engine and body; theft insurance prevents major losses if your car gets stolen and isn't recovered; passenger liability insurance is essential to cover medical costs for you and your family in accidents - don't wait until disaster strikes to regret being unprepared. Glass coverage is inexpensive and provides quick windshield replacement when summer road debris cracks it. Add a zero-deductible option to eliminate out-of-pocket costs during claims. These are concrete protections - insurance companies pay promptly, and vehicle repair costs are unavoidable expenses.

Why does a manual transmission car have jerky acceleration?

Manual transmission cars may experience jerky acceleration due to reasons such as excessive carbon buildup in the throttle, substandard fuel quality, or differences in vehicle models. The specific causes are detailed below: Excessive carbon buildup in the throttle: Many malfunctions are caused by carbon buildup, and some vehicles may develop jerky sensations related to carbon deposits. It is recommended to regularly clean carbon deposits. Substandard fuel quality: Substandard or incompatible fuel quality can lead to incomplete combustion. Different vehicle models: For manual transmissions, when driving in a semi-clutch state, accelerating or decelerating can cause jerky sensations. The deeper the throttle is pressed, the more pronounced the jerkiness. Automatic transmissions may experience slight jerkiness when accelerating and upshifting, with more noticeable sensations during forceful downshifting and subsequent upshifting under heavy throttle.

Why Can't the Seat Belt Be Pulled Out?

Seat belt cannot be pulled out due to a damaged seat belt buckle, which can be resolved by replacing the buckle. Function of car seat belts: In the event of a vehicle collision or when emergency braking is applied, the pretensioner will instantly retract, tightening the slack in the seat belt to securely fasten the occupant to the seat, preventing secondary collisions. Once the retracting force of the seat belt exceeds a certain limit, the force limiter will appropriately release the belt to maintain stable chest pressure. Working principle of seat belts: A spiral spring rotates the reel to keep the seat belt taut. The crumple zones, located at the relatively more compressible front and rear sections of the car, absorb part of the impact force during a collision with an obstacle, preventing the car from stopping abruptly by collapsing (similar to an empty soda can).

Do You Need to Cut the Subframe When Replacing the Control Arm?

Replacing the control arm does not require cutting the subframe. Here are the precautions for replacing the control arm: Using a Jack: First, lift the car with a jack and place bricks around the vehicle for added safety to prevent jack failure, though this step is optional. Pay Attention to Direction: Remove both ends of the control arm, select two corresponding-sized bushings, and install the rubber bushings. Larger rubber bushings are marked with L (left) and R (right), while smaller ones are not directional. Apply Dish Soap: After removal, use a torch to burn out the middle bushing. Apply dish soap to the new bushing for lubrication during installation, as it does not corrode rubber. Do not use engine oil.

What are the symptoms of a faulty fuel float in a car?

The symptom of a faulty fuel float is that the fuel gauge does not display the fuel level or shows an inaccurate reading. Prevention is not possible: There are not many ways to prevent fuel float damage. Since it is located inside the fuel tank, the best approach is to choose higher-quality gasoline whenever possible. Cleaner gasoline reduces impurities in the fuel pump, significantly lowering the probability of fuel gauge malfunctions. Additionally, regular cleaning of the fuel system and fuel tank can be considered. Working principle: The fuel float relies on buoyancy to stay on the surface of the fuel. The position of the float indicates the liquid level, and the shape of the tank allows for determining the volume of fuel inside. In actual fuel tanks, the float is a sliding variable resistor. As the float moves up and down, it changes the resistance in the circuit, which is then reflected by the fuel gauge needle on the dashboard.

Will driving over the highway diversion line be captured by cameras?

Driving over the diversion line may not necessarily be captured. Typically, there are two methods of capturing such violations: one is through automatic electronic police surveillance, and the other is through manual capture by traffic police. Regardless of the method, if the violation is captured, the driver will face corresponding penalties. Penalties for violations: If a driver runs over the diversion line, they will be penalized with a fine and 3 demerit points. If the driver illegally parks on the diversion line and occupies the emergency lane, they will generally be fined and receive 6 demerit points. Therefore, the diversion line is also a prohibited line and should not be casually driven over. However, when the diversion line does not match the lane markings, driving over it is allowed without fines or penalties, reflecting the flexibility and humaneness of the law. Driving precautions: While driving, pay attention to road markings and avoid driving over solid lines. It is especially important not to drive over, park, reverse, or make U-turns on the diversion line. The primary purpose of the diversion line is to ensure that each vehicle stays in its respective lane without interfering with others, thereby managing, guiding, and warning traffic to reduce accidents.
