No impact. Hail can easily cause many small dents on the car, but it does not affect the car paint and will not cause damage. In hailstorm weather, it is advisable to park the vehicle in a sheltered place, such as an underground garage. If that's not possible, simple coverings like blankets or cotton padding can be used to minimize damage. Hail falling from high altitudes carries significant kinetic energy and can be destructive, potentially damaging the car body and windshield. Below are two effects of hail on car paint: 1. Small hail, less than two centimeters in diameter: For small hail, less than two centimeters in diameter, the impact is minimal. Cars inherently have a certain level of impact resistance, and in most cases, there will be no issues or damage to the car. 2. Larger hail: However, for larger hail, such as the size of a one-yuan coin or bigger, extra caution is needed. These hailstones are heavy and can easily damage the car, causing shattered glass, body dents, and even paint damage.

What Are the Causes of Highway Traffic Jams?

Highway traffic jams are caused by: 1. Foggy and snowy weather conditions often lead to consecutive accidents, which are difficult to handle, forcing vehicles behind to remain stuck in the congestion; 2. Sometimes, human operational errors result in accidents, involving issues such as injuries or vehicle insurance claims; 3. Heavy traffic at provincial border toll stations can easily cause congestion. Similarly, due to severe weather or road conditions, road administration and traffic police may implement measures such as closing main routes, diverting traffic, or staggered releases. During diversions, most trucks are unwilling to exit the highway because local roads often involve frequent vehicle inspections and fines, leading to extended traffic jams.

How to Buy a Car When You Know Nothing About Cars?

Methods for buying a car when you know nothing about cars: 1. Determine your car-buying range based on your usage requirements and budget, such as choosing between a sedan or an SUV, and between domestic or joint-venture brands. 2. Visit websites and professional car apps to read reviews and user experiences from car owners, and compare the configurations of different models. 3. If there are auto shows, visit them to experience the cars in person, such as their appearance and ride comfort. 4. Schedule a test drive at a 4S store. For first-time buyers, it's advisable to choose a day with good weather and sufficient lighting to ensure a clear view of the car and an optimal test drive experience. It's best to visit the dealership in the morning when the sales staff are more energetic. If you've already decided on a specific model, choose a time when there are significant discounts available. Generally, older models become more affordable after new models are released. Don't make a decision after visiting just one dealership; compare prices from multiple dealers before finalizing your purchase.

Will the Car Be Ruined After a Wheel Alignment?

Getting a wheel alignment won't ruin your car, as it only adjusts the angles and relative positions between the tires, steering system, suspension system, and front/rear axles. If the vehicle shows no abnormalities but still undergoes a wheel alignment, potential issues may arise, such as the car developing a drift after the alignment when it didn't have one before. Additionally, frequent wheel alignments can make calibration less effective. However, if the vehicle exhibits abnormal tire wear, heavy steering, drifting, accelerated component wear, or increased fuel consumption after prolonged use, a wheel alignment can be beneficial. It helps address abnormal tire wear, reduce component wear and fuel consumption, and resolve issues like heavy steering and vehicle drifting.
