When purchasing a car, the following types of insurance are available: 1. Compulsory Traffic Accident Liability Insurance: This is a mandatory liability insurance where the insurance company compensates for personal injuries, deaths, or property losses caused to victims (excluding the vehicle's occupants and the insured) in road traffic accidents involving the insured vehicle, within the liability limits. 2. Vehicle Damage Insurance: This insurance covers losses to the insured vehicle caused by natural disasters (excluding earthquakes) or accidents within the scope of insurance liability, with compensation provided by the insurer according to the terms of the insurance contract. 3. Third-party Liability Insurance: This is a compulsory insurance required for annual vehicle inspection. It covers direct property losses and personal injuries to third parties caused by accidents involving the insured vehicle when driven by a qualified driver.

There are quite a few types of car insurance, and I did some research when I first bought a car. They are mainly divided into two categories: compulsory traffic insurance is legally mandatory, covering compensation for injuries or damages to others in case of an accident; commercial insurance is optional, including third-party liability insurance for third-party property or personal losses, vehicle damage insurance for your own car's repair costs, and no-deductible insurance to make the insurer cover all costs without your contribution. There's also theft insurance to protect against vehicle theft, scratch insurance for minor scrapes, water damage insurance for engine protection against flooding, and spontaneous combustion insurance for electrical circuit aging issues. Passenger liability insurance ensures passenger safety. Beginners are advised to at least get third-party liability insurance plus vehicle damage insurance, as the premiums are reasonable and cover major risks. Before driving, compare policies from several companies to choose the most suitable plan for yourself.

There is a comprehensive range of car insurance options, especially important after starting a family. The basic one is compulsory traffic insurance, which is mandatory to compensate victims in accidents; commercial insurance like third-party liability insurance should have higher coverage to avoid insufficient compensation; vehicle damage insurance covers your own car's damages; passenger liability insurance is crucial for family trips; and no-deductible insurance eliminates claim hassles. Additional coverage can be chosen based on different needs, such as theft insurance for urban parking security, or water damage insurance essential for the rainy season. Overall, for cost-effectiveness, beginners should prioritize third-party liability and vehicle damage insurance, while older cars benefit from adding spontaneous combustion or scratch insurance for peace of mind. Don’t skimp too much on premiums—choose a mid-tier option for safer driving with less worry. Remember to review your insurance annually during vehicle inspections to avoid coverage gaps.

There are various types of auto insurance, which I often discuss as a car enthusiast. Compulsory traffic insurance (CTI) is the basic coverage that compensates third parties. Commercial insurance includes third-party liability insurance as the core coverage for others, while vehicle damage insurance addresses issues with your own car. Specialized insurance options are quite practical, such as water ingress insurance for engine damage due to flooding, scratch insurance for minor abrasions, and spontaneous combustion insurance to prevent fires in older vehicles. For modified or specific vehicles, you can add exclusive insurance types. When purchasing insurance, choose within your means and opt for comprehensive packages to save money and hassle. Don't just focus on low prices; quick claims processing is more important. Tailor your insurance to your driving habits—if you drive frequently, it's best to have full coverage.

Should the inner or outer circle be read on a tire pressure gauge?

Both the inner and outer circles on a tire pressure gauge can be read, but they represent different units. The outer circle uses the imperial unit psi, while the inner circle uses kg/cm2. The conversion formula between them is 14.5psi=1.02kg/cm2. If the tire pressure gauge reads 2.5, it refers to the black inner circle. Below are factors to consider when adjusting tire pressure: 1. Seasonal factors: In winter, it is advisable to slightly increase the tire pressure by about 0.2bar based on the standard tire pressure. In summer, follow the lower limit of the standard tire pressure. If the car is parked outdoors in summer, the pressure can generally be about 0.1bar lower than the standard to avoid tire blowouts due to high temperatures. 2. Road conditions: On roads with significant bumps, it is appropriate to lower the tire pressure by 0.1-0.2bar from the standard tire pressure. For roads with minor bumps, this can be ignored. For long-distance high-speed driving, the tire pressure should not be too low; it is advisable to slightly increase the tire pressure by about 0.2bar based on the lower limit of the standard tire pressure.

How often is a private car's vehicle license inspected?

It depends on how many years it has been in use. Here is the introduction about the vehicle license: 1. The first type: Non-operational sedans and non-operational small and mini passenger vehicles that have been registered for more than 6 years (inclusive) are still inspected once a year as per the original regulations. 2. The second type: Vehicles that have been in use for more than 15 years (inclusive) are still inspected twice a year as per the original regulations. Vehicles that have been in use for more than 20 years (inclusive) are inspected every 3 months. 3. Others: The annual inspection time for motor vehicles is determined by the initial registration date of the new vehicle. For example, if the initial registration date on the motor vehicle license is August 2010, then the annual inspection time for vehicles with an inspection cycle of 1 year (or more) is every August. According to the regulation that motor vehicle inspections can be applied for within three months before the expiration of the validity period, vehicles with an initial registration date of August 2010 can go to the motor vehicle inspection station for inspection in June, July, or August.

What does AVG mean on a Nissan car?

AVG is the abbreviation for average, meaning the mean value. The AVG displayed on a car's dashboard refers to the average fuel consumption. Below is an introduction related to fuel consumption: 1. Fuel consumption varies by individual: The fuel consumption provided by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is measured in a laboratory using the carbon balance method, corresponding to urban, suburban, and combined driving conditions, resembling a theoretical fuel consumption value. However, during actual driving, factors such as road conditions, driving habits, and vehicle load vary from person to person. 2. Self-calculation method: Fill up the fuel tank at a gas station until the pump automatically stops, then record the mileage. For ease of calculation, take 5000 kilometers as an example. Then, drive normally until the next refueling and record the new mileage, say 5500 kilometers. You can then calculate the average fuel consumption for the last 500 kilometers driven (5500-5000=500 kilometers). The calculation is as follows: 300÷500÷7.6≈7.8L/100KM, meaning the fuel consumption is approximately 7.8 liters per 100 kilometers.

What are the gears of a manual-automatic transmission?

The gears of a manual-automatic transmission include P, R, N, D, 2, 1, or L. It also has '+' and '-' gears. Here is some information about manual-automatic transmissions: 1. Introduction: A manual-automatic transmission is essentially a type of automatic transmission that simulates the operation of a manual transmission through an electronic control system. The manual-automatic transmission is designed to improve the fuel efficiency and controllability of an automatic transmission by allowing the driver to decide the shifting timing, which was originally determined by the computer. At the same time, it can still be used in automatic mode for convenience in urban traffic jams. 2. Pros and Cons: In addition to the advantages of an automatic transmission, a manual-automatic car also allows manual control, providing some driving pleasure. The biggest disadvantage of a manual-automatic car is its higher fuel consumption. The manual mode is not fully manual and is limited by sensors, meaning it's impossible to shift directly to 1st, 2nd, or 3rd gear at 120 km/h. It is understood that the manual mode is rarely used in manual-automatic cars. Compared to automatic transmissions, the technology is less mature.
