I am getting my license soon, and my dad wants me to know all of this information before i take my test, any help would be appreciated! Thanks!I have some car questions: 1.How long can you drive on a flat tire before damaging the rim?1.Ultimately you should not drive on a flat tire, but if you must no more than 1-2 miles at very slow speeds about 2-5 miles per hour. A suggestion is though buying some run flats, they are a certain type of tire you can drive on even when flat though they are expensive.
2. The correct tire pressure is found on your vehicles door jamb( drivers side) not the tire like many people would think.
3. If you use full synthetic every 12000 miles is good if you you use regular oil( non synthetic) every 3000 miles granted this is if you dont drive on dirt roads or in dirty conditions. If so every 3000 miles. And yes you always need a new oil filter
4.Insurance varies on age driving record and now more recently credit rating.....oh also type of car. No matter the cost of the accident it will go up!
5.Every car will be different but if you take to a credible maintnence shop or garage they will have a maint. schedule for your specific car, costs can vary from $40-$80.
6. That you need to ask your insurance agent.
7. Stop and turn off the engine and open the hood if you have an extiguisher use if not get away.I have some car questions: 1.How long can you drive on a flat tire before damaging the rim?1. depends on the tire if its new or old and if its run-flats or tubeless etc.
3. depends on your oil if its fully synthetic or ordinary. ordinary, every 5000 km.I have some car questions: 1.How long can you drive on a flat tire before damaging the rim?1. If it's totally flat, maybe 50 feet.
2. ... Depends on your car. Seriously. Look it up in your manual. If you have NO idea whatsoever and you just had to fill up your tires, go for 35PSI or so.
3. ... Depends on your car as well, and what conditions your drive it in. 5000 miles is reasonable, getting synthetic vs. dino oil is up to you, but try to stick with what the car's already been getting. Yes, you should change the oil filter too.
4. It depends on whether you are male or female, your age, the car, where you live, etc. Ask your agent. A totally random estimate is $1500 for a 16-year-old in LA county driving a 96 Accord. Part 2, depends on your company too.
5. A lot of maintenence. Your manual will be able to cover it better than I ever will.
6. Collission covers money when you are at fault and pays for yourself and your own car. Comprehensive cover stuff like your car being stolen, etc. Liability is only when you are at fault and only pays for other people's damages. Dedectible means the first x dollars that you don't get money for (say you need $4000 because of an accident, if your deductible was $500 you'd only get $3500)
7. Stop driving. Don't open the hood. Check your temperature gauge, etc. Call for help.I have some car questions: 1.How long can you drive on a flat tire before damaging the rim?1. Not long at all depends on speed if your going fast and tire is copmpletly flat it will go fast road conditions affect it too. Way to hard to tell but i dotn expect one to last longer than a few minutes at like 30 MPH.
2. On your drivers side door or where your door opens on the drivers side is a sticker that tells you that. i think like 32 PSI is a usual.
3.Conventional oil every 3 K miles. Whatever your car uses. and Yes filter needs to be changed.
4.Too hard to tell you need to specify what car how old you are and every insurance is different with the rate they increase it if you at fault.
5. Again look at your manual every car is different.
6.Talk to your insurance agent.
7. Pull over and turn off your car.
p.s. Your dads a freakign weirdoI have some car questions: 1.How long can you drive on a flat tire before damaging the rim?1) Zero inches.
2) It says it on the tire, in small letters somewhere it will say %26quot;MAX PSI: __%26quot;
3) Every 3000 miles, use the factory oil viscosity, yes.
4) Varies based on where you live. A lot.
5)Varies based on the car. A Ferrari has more service intervals at a higher cost than a Ford Focus, for example. Call the service department at your local dealer and ask.
7) Stop driving the car, get it towed to a shop.
I regret answering these questions now that i read the last line, you should have had to look it up yourself.I have some car questions: 1.How long can you drive on a flat tire before damaging the rim?1.not very long, in fact very short distance before it gets damaged
2.depends on the tire
3.3000 miles or 3 months, depends on the car, you get a new oil filter every time you change the oil
4.depends on gender, car, company, in a 5000 dollar accident it will go up alot
5.when you get ur oil changed they ask you for different services like transmission service or air filter services. they cost different prices
6. collision is if your car gets damaged and its your fault your insurance will pay for your car, comprehensive is your insurance company pays for acts of god like deer hits or hail damage. uninsured motorist is if some uninsured guy hits your car your insurance will pay for it, and liability is if you hit somebody your insurance will pay for their car only. deductibles are how much you pay for damage to your car before the insurance pays
7. stop the car immediatelyI have some car questions: 1.How long can you drive on a flat tire before damaging the rim?#3. Look into an extended drain synthetic motor oil like Amsoil and you only need to change your oil and filter annually. This is also more environmentally responsible. Everyone's going to tell you 3,000 miles, but read an eye-opening article on the subject at my website, http://www.number1synthetic.com -- click 'Other Links'. Europeans have been on 10,000+ mile oil changes for years!
You can also click 'AMSOIL Online Product Guide' to enter your year, make, model, and engine to get a list of Amsoil synthetic lubricants and filters for your vehicle.
Good luck!I have some car questions: 1.How long can you drive on a flat tire before damaging the rim?1.How long can you drive on a flat tire before damaging the rim?
Never ever drive on a flat tire (one that is noticably flat) it is just not a safe thing to do.
2.What is the correct tire air pressure?
correct air pressure if i remember right depends on the tire/car
3.How often should your car檚 oil be changed? What kind of oil should you specify? Do you need a new oil filter also?
Dependig on how old your car is the oil will need to be changed ever 3,000-5,000 miles (newer engines can go a bit longer and be fine) or every 3 months which ever comes first. The mechanic will know what kind of oil to use on your car, brand doesn't really matter much but the type depends on your car. when the mechanic checks your oil he will also check the air filter to see if it needs replacing, usually he will ask before hand if this is alright (mine always does) and if he has permission to change it if needed.
4.How much per year will your insurance cost when you get your license? How much will it go up if you get in a $5000 accident that is determined to be your fault?
Insurance is very variable. it depends on the insurance company its self, how old you are, what kind of car you drive, how much you drive, and where you live are the major ones. You need to speek to an insurace adjuster to figure these things out and to get an estimated rate. you can also seach for insurance companies online and get a free quote from them. it will give you an idea of what your payments will be but may not be exact.
5.What are the recommended maintenance services for a car and when should you get them, and how much would they cost approximately?
Again depends on your car and how old it is. i would say as long as you keep your oil changed and all the fluids in your car where they are supposed to be and you don't have any problems with then it doesn't really matter. But as soon as you notice something wrong get it checked out right away! that is the most important thing. it could be something small but you ignore it and it becomes bigger.
6.What do collision, comprehensive, uninsured motorist, and liability insurance cover? What are the insurance deductibles? (this might be personalized im not sure)
Collision insurance is if you are in a collision(accident)
uninsured motorist is if the person who hits you doesn't have insurance and it is their fault your insurance company will pay to have your car fixed.
Liabity is if you are in an accident and its your fault your insurance company will pay for to fix the other car but not yours.
Insurace deductubles are what you have to meet before your insurance company will pay
7. What should you do if there is smoke coming out of your hood?
If there is smoke comming out of your hood turn the car off, get out and get away from the car as fast as your feet will carry you and call 911.
