A young couple is moving to a new place because their leaseexpired. They are driving on the road, and suddenly, a car makes a sharp turn.
T: I can’t wait to get to our new home. Hey, watch out forthat car! (The man slams on the brakes .)
M: That was close! But we’re OK. I probably shouldn’t have stayed up so late last night packing upour stuff. I feel a bit off.
T: It’s OK. The insurance company will cover the damagesif a car accident happens. But if we get into too many accidents and the claims accumulate, our compulsory insurance premiums may increase. How the insurance loss ratio works is similar to that of the labor insurance or health insurance. It’s not worth it, so drive safe! By the way, I’ve informed the insurance company that we’re changing our address. That way, we won’t miss the insurance renewal notice.
M: No worries. I already renewed my insurance earlier this month and paid for it at the convenience store. I’ve also got my “e-card,” so I can check when it expires on my smartphone. It also makes dealing with the Motor Vehicles Officemuch less of a hassleand it’s more convenient and eco-friendly.
T: How do you sign up for an e-card?
M: Easy. Justregisteryour phone number or e-mail address with the insurance company, and then you’re all set. T: Cool! It’s good that we’re insured. It offers more protectionand security.
