Comprehensive vehicle insurance generally includes compulsory traffic insurance and four main commercial insurances: third-party liability insurance, vehicle damage insurance, passenger liability insurance, and theft insurance. If the car owner has good financial conditions, they can also purchase some additional insurances, such as scratch insurance, glass insurance, spontaneous combustion insurance, etc. The relevant introductions are as follows: 1. Among vehicle insurances, compulsory traffic insurance must be purchased, while commercial insurance is voluntary. The commonly used ones are vehicle damage insurance and third-party liability insurance. Car owners can choose commercial insurance according to their own situation. 2. Generally, the comprehensive insurance recognized by everyone refers to: compulsory traffic insurance + vehicle damage insurance + third-party liability insurance + no-deductible insurance + passenger liability insurance, etc. If conditions permit, additional insurances such as theft insurance, glass insurance, body scratch insurance, and spontaneous combustion insurance can also be added.

Comprehensive car insurance is actually a type of full-coverage protection in auto insurance, offering a wide range of coverage. It includes third-party liability insurance, which means the insurance company will cover compensation if you hit someone else's car or injure a person while driving. There's also vehicle damage insurance, where the insurer pays for repair costs if your own car is scratched, damaged by natural disasters, or stolen. Additionally, common add-ons like theft insurance and glass insurance are bundled into a package. Comprehensive insurance is suitable for new or high-end car owners because repair costs are high, and even a minor accident can save a lot of money. However, the annual premium isn't cheap—it could cost several thousand yuan in big cities. One downside is the deductible clause, meaning you might have to pay a small amount for minor scratches before the insurer covers the rest. Before choosing comprehensive insurance, carefully review the policy details, as services vary between companies—don't blindly follow trends. Regular car maintenance can lower premiums, and driving safely is always the best practice.

What is the process for jump-starting a car?

The process for jump-starting a car: 1. Prepare two jumper cables and a vehicle that can supply power; 2. Remove the buckle of the battery box to open the battery protective cover, exposing the positive and negative terminals of the battery. Both the rescue vehicle and the rescued vehicle should operate on the battery in a turned-off state; 3. Confirm the positive and negative terminals of the battery. If you cannot distinguish them, avoid connecting them randomly; 4. Take one jumper cable, connect one end to the positive terminal of the dead battery and the other end to the positive terminal of the live battery. Ensure the positive and negative terminals do not come into contact, as this poses a short-circuit risk; 5. Take the other jumper cable, first connect it to the negative terminal of the live battery, then connect the other end to the engine block or body of the dead vehicle. Avoid connecting negative to negative; 6. After the cables are properly connected, start the live vehicle to provide a reliable voltage to the dead vehicle; 7. Once the dead vehicle starts and is powered by the car alternator, you can remove the jumper cables, first disconnecting the negative terminal and then the positive terminal.

What is the speed limit on highways in rainy weather?

In rainy weather, the basic speed limit is below 80km/h. Here are some precautions for driving on highways in the rain: 1. When there is water on the road surface, high-speed driving will create a layer of water film between the tires and the road, which greatly affects the tire grip and significantly increases the braking distance. 2. When driving at high speed in the rain, avoid making sharp turns, as the reduced tire grip makes the vehicle prone to skidding. 3. Even if the rain is heavy, do not stop in the emergency lane or the driving lane before reaching a highway service area. Maintain a steady speed consistent with the flow of traffic.

How to Change Brake Fluid for a Car?

Method for changing brake fluid for a car: 1. Park the vehicle on a flat surface, open the engine hood after turning off the engine, and use a syringe to extract the fluid from the reservoir until the bottom is reached; 2. Fill the reservoir with new brake fluid, using a funnel during pouring to avoid spilling onto the engine compartment, as brake fluid is corrosive; 3. Use a jack to lift the vehicle, starting with removing the rear wheels first; 4. Locate the bleeder screw on the brake caliper and remove the rubber dust cap on it; 5. Use a wrench to loosen the bleeder screw, attach a rubber tube to it, and connect the other end to a drain bottle; 6. Inside the car, press the brake pedal, observing the color of the brake fluid in the rubber tube. Old fluid is darker, while new fluid is lighter. If the fluid coming out of the tube is the lighter new fluid, the fluid change for that wheel is complete. Stop pressing the brake pedal and reinstall the tire, then repeat this process for the remaining three wheels; 7. After all four wheels have been drained, check the fluid level in the reservoir under the hood to see if it has reached the lower limit. The reservoir has upper and lower limit markings. If it has reached the lower limit, add new brake fluid as needed; 8. Once the brake fluid change is complete, test the brakes in a relatively safe area.

What are the effects on a car if it doesn't slow down when passing speed bumps?

Frequently passing speed bumps without slowing down can affect the car's suspension, wheels, and interior components. Car Suspension: When a vehicle passes over a speed bump, there is a noticeable impact and a barely perceptible deceleration. Although speed bumps are not completely vertical, they always have some angle. When passing over this angle, the speed bump exerts resistance on the tires, which is directly transmitted to the suspension and then to the car body, resulting in a complete impact. Wheels: This primarily affects mid-to-high-end cars equipped with large-sized wheels and wide, low-profile tires. The sidewall thickness of the tires serves as the first level of shock absorption for the car. The greater the thickness, the more compression it can absorb. If the car doesn't slow down when passing a speed bump, the momentary state is that the tire gets flattened, then hits the wheel rim, and finally returns to the road surface. Each instance of such driving will impact the wheel rim, and over time, it will naturally cause damage to the wheels. Interior Components: This includes electronic configurations, interior panels, CD players, car audio systems, and other visible components. Upon closer inspection, these are all fixed with screws or clips. Frequently passing speed bumps without slowing down can cause rattling noises in the interior components.

Why Shouldn't You Buy a Flood-Damaged Car?

Flood-damaged cars should not be purchased for the following reasons: 1. Electronic system malfunctions: The most water-sensitive components in a car are the electronic systems. Although modern vehicles have waterproofing for electronic circuits, they cannot withstand heavy or prolonged water exposure. If water submerges the engine compartment for an extended period, it can cause wiring corrosion and short circuits, leading to electronic function failures or even spontaneous combustion. 2. Engine failure: Generally, if water has submerged the engine compartment, do not attempt to start the car, as there's no guarantee that the engine hasn't taken in water. Starting it directly could result in immediate engine failure. 3. Transmission issues: The depreciation of flood-damaged cars often stems from transmission problems. Transmissions have vents to release pressure from temperature changes, typically located on the upper part. If water levels rise too high and flood the engine compartment, water may enter the transmission. This can cause slipping, shaking, gear shift jerking, or even necessitate major transmission repairs. 4. Interior mold: Rainwater contains numerous impurities, and a flooded car interior becomes an extremely humid environment prone to mold growth. If the vehicle isn't dried promptly, mold can ruin fabric and leather surfaces while creating unpleasant odors.

What is the purpose of the central locking system in a car?

Central locking system functions are as follows: 1. Central control. When the driver locks the door next to them, all other doors are simultaneously locked. The driver can unlock all doors at once using the door lock switch or open a specific door individually. 2. Speed control. When the vehicle reaches a certain speed, all doors automatically lock to prevent passengers from accidentally opening doors by operating the door handles. 3. Individual control. In addition to the driver's door, other doors are equipped with separate spring lock switches that can independently control the opening and locking of individual doors.
