Will Insurance Cover Car Damage Due to Flooding? The following is relevant information about water damage insurance: 1. Definition: Water damage insurance is a newly derived type of auto insurance, primarily referring to an additional coverage that car owners purchase for their engines. During heavy rain or flooding, if the insured vehicle's exhaust pipe or intake pipe is submerged in water, and the driver continues to start the vehicle or attempts to start it using inertia; or if the vehicle is started without necessary repairs after suffering from heavy rain or flooding. In these two scenarios, purchasing water damage insurance is necessary to receive corresponding compensation. 2. Claims Handling: Compensation is based on actual repair costs within the insured amount. However, if the cumulative claim amount reaches the insured limit during the policy period, the insurance liability terminates. Each claim under water damage insurance is subject to a 15% absolute deductible rate.

How Many Feet Are Used to Drive an Automatic Transmission Car?

An automatic transmission car is driven with one foot, using the right foot to control the accelerator and brake. Common misconceptions about driving an automatic transmission car are as follows: 1. Incorrect Parking Steps: Some people don't care whether their parking method is correct as long as the car is parked. However, incorrect operations can accelerate vehicle damage. The correct parking method is: press the brake - shift to N (Neutral) - engage the handbrake - release the foot brake - shift to P (Park) - remove the key. 2. Frequent Acceleration Wastes Fuel: During normal driving, constantly pressing the accelerator will make the transmission think you are trying to accelerate or overtake, causing it to downshift to increase torque. Doing this frequently will increase fuel consumption and wear out the automatic transmission. 3. Long Wait at Red Light with Foot on Brake: Some drivers do not shift gears when waiting at a red light and simply keep their foot on the brake. This can wear out the brake pads and cause the transmission fluid to overheat. The best practice is to shift to N (Neutral) and engage the handbrake.
