If you discover your car has been scratched after several days and need to notify the insurance company to file a claim, you can formally report the incident to the insurance company within 48 hours by bringing the original insurance policy, vehicle registration, driver's license, and the insured's ID card. If the incident is reported on the spot, most insurance companies will conduct an on-site investigation and issue relevant documentation. Some insurance companies may require the policyholder to directly report the damage at a designated loss assessment point or repair shop. Below are some parking precautions: 1. Basic parking principle: Consider not only your own convenience for entering and exiting but also that of others, and be mindful of potential unexpected situations. 2. Use turn signals when temporarily parking on the roadside: Always turn on your turn signal in advance when temporarily parking on the roadside, and check your rearview mirror to ensure there are no vehicles or pedestrians before pulling over. The parking location must be legally permissible and should not obstruct the passage of other vehicles or pedestrians. 3. Park in well-lit areas: Choose bright and open areas for temporary parking, and avoid hiding your car in corners. For long-term or overnight parking, always use a parking lot. Additionally, exercise extra caution and care when parking during severe weather conditions or in particularly crowded streets.

Does a fully paid car appear on the credit report?

A fully paid car does not involve credit checks. Credit checks are only required when financing a car purchase. Below are specific details about credit requirements for auto loans: Personal Information: This mainly includes the borrower's basic information, as well as recent employment status, marital status, residence, and property ownership. The lending platform will verify this information to check for any discrepancies or false details. Credit History: This involves reviewing the applicant's past and current credit status and repayment reliability. If the borrower has a good repayment record for credit cards, loans, etc., it indicates strong creditworthiness and lower risk of loan default. Conversely, frequent late payments suggest poor credit, requiring careful consideration before approving the loan. Loan Records: This examines the borrower's existing loans, loan amounts, and credit card usage.

What Causes Abnormal Noise from Car Tires?

Tire punctures caused by nails or debris and excessively worn brake pads are the main reasons for abnormal noise from car tires. Below are detailed explanations of these causes: Tire punctures caused by nails or debris: The noise occurs once per tire rotation, with the rhythm accelerating as vehicle speed increases. If caused by debris, simply removing it will suffice. If caused by a nail, you can drive directly to a repair shop for a tire patch if the tire pressure remains adequate for city driving. Excessively worn brake pads: Front wheel brake pads typically feature electronic warning systems, while rear wheels generally rely on mechanical alarm indicators. When brake rotors become excessively worn, they produce metallic friction sounds. These sounds are faint when not braking but become noticeably louder and more piercing when brakes are applied. In such cases, you must drive cautiously and replace the brake pads immediately.

How Long Does It Take to Get a Vehicle License?

You can generally obtain the vehicle license once the vehicle registration is completed. The main functions of the vehicle license are as follows: Proof of Ownership: The "Owner's Name" field on the Motor Vehicle License is not just a matter of name. The owner registered on the license is the legally recognized owner of the vehicle, with the right to legally use and dispose of the property. In case of traffic accidents or financial disputes, this person is also the legally responsible party. Insurance Claim Documentation: For insured motor vehicles involved in accidents covered by the insurance policy, the policyholder must present the Motor Vehicle License, and it must be valid (i.e., the vehicle has passed the annual inspection), for the insurance company to process the claim. Without a valid license, the insurance company may deny the claim, even if the accident occurs within the coverage period.

Why Does the Fueling Amount Exceed the Tank Capacity?

Because the fuel tank capacity provided by the manufacturer refers to the safe capacity of the tank, not the maximum capacity. Here is some expanded information on the topic: Regulations: According to the 'Safety Performance Requirements and Test Methods for Automotive Fuel Tanks,' the safety performance of the fuel tank must meet the requirement that 'the rated capacity should be controlled at 95% of the maximum liquid capacity of the fuel tank.' Typically, the labeled volume is only about 80% to 85% of the maximum capacity. Fueling: Consumers can be completely assured about the quantity when refueling at China Petroleum gas stations, as the fuel dispensers are regularly subjected to mandatory inspections by local technical supervision departments, and the inspection certificates are posted in prominent positions on the fuel dispensers.

What to Do When a Nail Punctures the Tire?

The approach to handling a nail puncture in a tire varies depending on the situation: 1. If the nail is stuck in the tire tread, simply remove it; 2. If the nail has penetrated the tire but not punctured through, and there is no air leakage, use pliers to pull it out; 3. If the nail has punctured through the tire tread, continuing to drive will exacerbate the damage to the tire, so replace it with the spare tire promptly; 4. If the nail has punctured the tire sidewall, reduce speed and drive to the nearest location to purchase and replace a new tire. Tires are circular elastic rubber products mounted on various vehicles or machinery for ground rolling. Their functions include: 1. Direct contact with the road surface, working together with the vehicle suspension to mitigate shocks during driving; 2. Ensuring good ride comfort and smooth driving; 3. Providing excellent traction for the wheels on the road surface.
