When a car is temporarily parked on the roadside, the hazard warning flashers should be turned on. If it is a temporary stop at night, the hazard warning flashers, clearance lights, and rear position lights should be activated. The hazard warning flashers, commonly referred to as "hazard lights" or "double flashers," are signal lights that alert other vehicles and pedestrians to the fact that the car is in a special situation. Clearance lights are the outermost lights at the front and rear of the vehicle. The front and rear position lights are also known as parking lights or marker lights. When temporarily parked on the roadside, the body of the car should not exceed the right edge of the road or the sidewalk edge, and the distance between the car body and the right edge of the road or the sidewalk edge should ideally be less than 30 centimeters. The parking position should be more than 50 meters away from an intersection to avoid affecting the lane-changing of right-turning vehicles.

How to Pay for Compulsory Traffic Insurance Now?

Currently, there are several ways to purchase compulsory traffic insurance: buying it at a car dealership; purchasing through an insurance company's service personnel; or buying it on the insurance company's website. Although there are many insurance companies available, vehicle owners still need to purchase compulsory traffic insurance from qualified insurance companies designated by relevant national authorities. The coverage and exclusions of compulsory traffic insurance are as follows: 1. Coverage: Compared to the more than 20 exemption clauses in commercial third-party liability insurance, compulsory traffic insurance has fewer exemptions, such as 'losses caused by intentional actions of the victim,' 'property loss of the insured,' 'related arbitration and litigation costs,' and certain indirect losses caused by the accident. The coverage is much broader. Regardless of whether the insured vehicle is at fault in the accident, compulsory traffic insurance will provide compensation within the liability limit, with no deductible or co-payment. 2. Exclusions: According to relevant laws in China, the following situations are not covered by compulsory traffic insurance within the liability limit: personal injuries and property losses caused by intentional actions of the victim, such as suicide, self-harm, or fraud (e.g., staged accidents); arbitration or litigation costs and related expenses arising from traffic accidents; indirect losses, such as the depreciation of vehicle value due to a collision.

What Causes the Brake Noise in BMW 3 Series?

BMW 3 Series brake noise may be due to uneven wear of the brake discs. When measured with tools, excessive radial runout beyond standard values may be detected, and uneven surfaces may also occur during use, resulting in noise when the brake pedal is pressed. The solutions are as follows: 1. Brake pad wear: If the brake pads are worn to their limit, new brake pads should be replaced and chamfered to prevent catching on the raised outer edges of the brake discs. Apply noise-reducing paste to the surface of the brake pads, and after installation, press the brake pedal several times to restore braking force. Drive cautiously during the initial period to allow the brake pads to wear in more evenly. 2. Rusty brake discs: If the brake discs are found to be rusty due to prolonged disuse, press the brake pedal several times while driving to remove surface rust. For brake discs worn to their limit with thickness below the standard, replacement is recommended.
