No, it cannot be replaced with a new car, but compensation can be provided according to the terms of the auto damage insurance. According to the auto damage insurance clauses, compensation applies to vehicles submerged due to garage flooding or damaged by falling trees or rocks caused by heavy rain. In post-storm damage claims, as long as the engine is not flooded, all repairs and part replacements are covered under the auto damage insurance. Below is an introduction to insurance compensation for flooded new cars: 1. Vehicle submerged while parked: With auto damage insurance, full compensation is provided. If the vehicle is damaged while stationary due to flooding, as long as auto damage insurance is purchased, it falls within the insurance company's compensation scope. This includes vehicles submerged in garages—the resulting damage is covered by auto damage insurance, and the insurance company will provide full compensation. If the vehicle is submerged while stationary, do not move it; instead, report the incident immediately, take photos, and follow the claims process. 2. Vehicle submerged while driving: For car insurance purchased after September 19, 2020, with auto damage insurance, full compensation is provided. Additional coverages like theft insurance, glass insurance, and engine flooding insurance have been merged into auto damage insurance, eliminating the need for separate purchases to qualify for claims. For car insurance purchased before September 19, 2020, with auto damage insurance + flooding insurance, full compensation is provided. If the loss occurs due to unclear judgment of water depth while driving, and the policyholder has auto damage insurance + flooding insurance, the insurance company will provide full compensation; if only auto damage insurance is purchased without flooding insurance, compensation will only cover damages excluding the engine.

Can a C1 license drive a 5.9-meter van?

Whether a C1 license can drive a 5.9-meter van depends on the license plate: blue plates are allowed, yellow plates are not. The C1 driver's license is one type of motor vehicle driving license, which permits driving small and mini passenger vehicles, as well as light and mini cargo vehicles; light, small, and mini special-purpose vehicles; and small passenger vehicles with a seating capacity of 9 or fewer. A motor vehicle driving license, commonly referred to as a driver's license, is a legal document required for operating motor vehicles.

Similarly, if no scoring cycle during the ten-year validity period reaches 12 or more points, the license can be renewed for a long-term valid license.

What Causes the Steering Wheel to Make Abnormal Noises?

Here are the specific reasons for abnormal noises when turning the steering wheel: 1. Turn signal return sound: If the turn signal is activated while turning, the noise may come from the rebound clip of the automatic turn signal return mechanism, which is normal. 2. Noise from the steering column dust cover: If the noise comes from below the steering wheel, it may be due to the steering column dust cover. Lack of lubrication in the dust cover can cause friction noises. Applying some grease inside the dust cover can resolve this. 3. Noise from inside the steering wheel: This could be caused by the airbag clock spring inside the steering wheel. Removing the steering wheel and applying grease to the airbag clock spring can fix this. Note: Disconnect the airbag fuse before removing the steering wheel to prevent the airbag from deploying. 4. Noise from the stabilizer bar: Check if the stabilizer bar bushings are loose or damaged. Loose or damaged stabilizer bar bushings can cause noises not only when turning but also when driving over uneven surfaces. Loose stabilizer bar bushings can be fixed by adding shims.

What are the penalty and point deduction standards for speeding in 2020?

2020 speeding penalty and point deduction standards: 1. If the vehicle speed exceeds 10% of the limit, the driver will be given a warning without any fine or point deduction; 2. If the vehicle speed exceeds 10% to 20% of the limit, 3 points will be deducted from the driver's license; 3. If the vehicle speed exceeds 20% to 50% of the limit, 6 points will be deducted from the driver's license; 4. If the vehicle speed exceeds 50% or more of the limit, 12 points will be deducted from the driver's license. The following three situations of speeding will not result in point deduction or fines: 1. On roads with a speed limit of 60, speeding within 50% without causing any consequences will result in a warning without penalty; 2. Driving a motor vehicle at a speed exceeding the limit by less than 10% will result in a warning without penalty; 3. In special circumstances such as queuing or low-speed driving caused by traffic accidents, road maintenance, etc., if the speed is below 20% of the limit, no points will be deducted and no fine will be imposed.

What does it mean when the 4lo light flashes?

The flashing 4lo warning light indicates that the vehicle has entered the low-speed cruise control system. When this light illuminates, it is necessary to consult a professional who can use a diagnostic scanner to read the fault code and identify the root cause of the issue for targeted repairs. After completing the repairs, the fault code should be cleared. The working principle of the cruise control system can be simply described as follows: The cruise control module reads the pulse signal from the vehicle speed sensor and compares it with the preset speed. Based on this comparison, it sends commands to the servo mechanism to adjust the throttle opening, either increasing or decreasing it, to maintain the vehicle at the set speed. Solutions for the flashing 4lo light: Switch between high-range and low-range 4WD modes, and during the switching process, press the accelerator pedal a few times. Firmly press the ABS sensor connectors near the front and rear wheels and the 4WD transfer case connector located under the middle of the vehicle. For professional repair, visit a repair shop to use a diagnostic scanner to read the specific fault code and proceed with the necessary repairs. Alternatively, move the lever by pressing the brake, shifting into neutral (N), and then lifting the first of the four levers in front of the center console from left to right for three seconds.

What brand of tire is GOODYEAR?

GOODYEAR is the Goodyear brand tire. The following is a detailed introduction to car tire replacement: 1. Replacement time depends on the situation: If the owner has good driving habits, the tire replacement time is generally 3-5 years or a mileage of 60,000-80,000 kilometers. If driving under more severe road conditions, such as frequently driving on gravel roads or frequent traffic jams, sudden braking, and sharp turns, the replacement time for tires will be shortened. 2. Tire aging time: The main raw material of tires is rubber, which will naturally age. The main manifestations are that the tires will harden, and the sidewalls will be covered with small cracks. Generally, the natural aging time is 4-5 years. Tires need to be replaced in time after 5 years of use to prevent the risk of blowouts. 3. Observe the wear condition of the tires: If the tires are severely worn and the tread pattern is at the same level as the wear mark, the tires need to be replaced. Otherwise, braking will be more difficult when driving on slippery roads, and the vehicle is extremely prone to losing control. If driving on too rough roads, blowouts are likely to occur.
