When you scrape someone else's car while parking, don't panic. Immediately stop moving the vehicle and get out to assess the extent of the damage. If the scratch has reached the car's primer, repainting is the only way to restore it, which is relatively inexpensive. For more severe scratches, it's advisable to follow legal procedures and file an insurance claim, letting the insurance company evaluate the cost to minimize your losses. Below is the process for car insurance claims: 1. Accident Liability Determination: Report the accident to the police immediately and have the traffic police determine liability. 2. Notify the Insurance Company: An insurance adjuster will visit the scene to inspect and confirm the situation. 3. Vehicle Repair: Insurance companies usually recommend repair shops they cooperate with, but car owners can also choose their own. 4. Claim Settlement: Submit the repair invoice to the insurance company for claim settlement.

Is it necessary to apply film after replacing the front windshield?

Replacing the front windshield does not require applying film. Merchants usually promote the benefits of film application as follows: 1. Explosion-proof: The front windshield itself is laminated glass, meaning there is a polyvinyl butyral film sandwiched between two layers of glass, making an additional layer unnecessary; 2. UV protection: UV rays themselves have weak penetration, and the windshield glass, especially the polyvinyl butyral film within it, can already block a significant proportion of UV rays; 3. Reducing glare and improving visibility, heat insulation: The heat insulation effect is minimal, and applying film can darken the driver's field of vision, severely affecting driving safety. If film must be applied, it is sufficient to apply it only to the four side windows. The rear windshield can be left as is or have film applied; the actual significant function of film application is privacy protection.

For B-class licenses and above, if 6 to 12 points (less than 12 points) are deducted during the probation period, the probation period will be extended by one year. Within 30 days after the probation period ends, you must take the subject one exam. 2. What to do if you lose your driver's license: If you accidentally lose your driver's license, there's no need to panic. You can apply for a replacement at the license issuing authority. Required materials include three one-inch passport photos, a completed application form at the DMV office, your ID card, and a lost statement. 3. The scoring cycle of the driver's license: The scoring cycle of a driver's license is calculated from the date of issuance and lasts for one year.

Is it necessary to carry the car insurance policy in the vehicle?

It is not necessary to carry the car insurance policy in the vehicle, but the compulsory traffic insurance label must be affixed to the right side of the front windshield as required. In case of an accident, simply call the insurance company's customer service hotline and provide the policy information. The insurance company can then check the vehicle's insurance status through their system. Car insurance can be broadly divided into commercial insurance and compulsory traffic insurance. Commercial insurance further consists of two parts: main insurance and additional insurance. The main commercial insurance includes vehicle damage insurance, third-party liability insurance, passenger liability insurance, and comprehensive theft insurance. Additional insurance covers items such as standalone glass breakage insurance, vehicle downtime loss insurance, spontaneous combustion loss insurance, new equipment loss insurance, engine water ingress insurance, no-fault liability insurance, substitute vehicle expense insurance, body scratch loss insurance, deductible waiver clause, and cargo liability insurance, among others.

What is the Scorpion-Verde tire?

SCORPIONVERDE utilizes the latest materials, structure, and tread patterns introduced by Pirelli. Pirelli, one of the world's most renowned tire companies, was founded in Italy in 1872. Pirelli is also the primary sponsor of the Inter Milan football club. With 24 factories across 12 countries, over a century of tire manufacturing experience has endowed Pirelli tires with superior performance in comfort, durability, and safety. Pirelli places high importance on the Chinese market and has long been recognized by world-famous automobile manufacturers. Prestigious car brands such as Audi, Bentley, Ferrari, Lamborghini, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz all designate Pirelli tires as their original equipment tires. When using Pirelli tires in daily life, pay attention to the following points: Regularly inspect the tire surface for cracks, deformations, or other defects. Due to wear from driving, the tread grooves gradually become shallower. If the tread is worn flat, it loses its drainage and anti-slip functions, significantly reducing the car's performance. Small cracks may pose hidden dangers of tire blowouts at high speeds. Additionally, promptly remove pebbles from the grooves; try to park on flat ground. Avoid parking on roads with thick, sharp, or pointed stones. Do not park near or in contact with petroleum products, acids, or other materials that may cause rubber deterioration. After parking, drivers should not turn the steering wheel, as this accelerates tire wear. Do not splash water to cool the tires. In hot weather or during high-speed driving, tires are prone to overheating, and tire pressure may increase. In such cases, park to allow the tires to cool naturally. Never release air to reduce pressure or splash water to cool the tires, as this may cause abnormal aging of the tread rubber. Avoid sudden braking. Minimize frequent or abrupt braking to prevent accelerated tread wear caused by dragging between the tires and the ground.
