When picking up a new car, the following items should be checked: 1. Check the production date: Verify whether there is a significant gap between the production date and the pickup date. A smaller gap means the car might have been moved less. While it's impossible to avoid the movement from production to sales, a small gap between the production and pickup dates reduces the likelihood of the dealer tampering with the mileage. 2. Check the tires for completeness: Tires are a relatively straightforward way to inspect the car. If a new car has been used excessively, the tires will show severe wear. The tire hairs won't be as intact as on a new car, and in severe cases, they might be completely worn away. There may also be signs of damage on the tire surface. 3. Check if the interior packaging is intact: To prevent dust or damage after leaving the factory, the interior is usually wrapped in plastic film. If the new car has been used excessively by the dealership, the plastic film might be damaged.

How to File an Insurance Claim for Car Scratches?

Under the premise of having car insurance, the car owner should submit a reimbursement claim to the insurance company and present the insurance policy, driver's license, and the policyholder's ID card. The car owner needs to fill out an accident report form, describe the accident process, and provide contact information. Take photos of the car scratches and the overall vehicle appearance for damage assessment. The car owner then signs for repairs. When reporting the incident to the insurance company, pay special attention to the reporting time, usually within 48 hours. If the deadline is exceeded, visit the insurance company in person to file a supplementary report. If the car is scratched on the road, a traffic accident certificate issued by the traffic police is required. If the car is scratched off the road, an accident certificate from the local police station is needed.

What is the correct way to operate the accelerator and brake pedals?

While driving, the right foot needs to alternate between controlling the accelerator and brake pedals. The accelerator pedal is used for starting and accelerating, while the brake pedal is used for stopping and decelerating. During operation, the heel remains on the ground, and its position should not be moved significantly when switching between pedals. When neither the accelerator nor the brake is being operated, the right foot should always rest on the brake pedal, ready for braking. Gear shifting techniques are as follows: 1. Before shifting gears, release the accelerator and depress the clutch: Almost simultaneously release the accelerator pedal and press the clutch pedal before shifting. The action should be quick. Note: When releasing the accelerator pedal, only the front part of the foot should slightly lift off the pedal, while the heel remains in place and should not be pulled back. 2. After shifting gears, release the clutch and press the accelerator: After shifting gears, slowly release the clutch pedal. Begin to gently press the accelerator when the clutch reaches the semi-engagement point. Once the left foot has fully released the clutch pedal, place it on the left-side resting area. Note: The left foot is generally suspended when releasing the clutch pedal.

How to Check Fatigue Driving and Speeding Records on Truck Beidou System?

Beidou can analyze the vehicle's driving time, whether it is speeding or fatigued driving, and can monitor the driver's work-rest schedule and driving patterns anytime, anywhere. After installing the Beidou system, it only takes a few seconds to locate, which is much faster than GPS systems that require several minutes to start up. The Beidou system can send the user's driving records to the police, assisting them in managing and supervising users, thereby promoting more standardized driving behavior. Speeding records cannot be erased, and manual deletion is meaningless because once speeding is detected, Beidou will upload the data to the system backend.
