Can You Feel a Slight Scratch on the Car?
1 Answers
When a car slightly scratches another vehicle, it is difficult to feel it inside the car due to the sound insulation that blocks external noise and the shock absorption that dampens the impact. Additionally, if the car's audio system is playing loudly, it becomes even harder to notice whether you have scratched someone else's car or if someone has scratched yours. Below is more related information: What to do when unsure if you scratched someone else's car: 1. If you are uncertain whether you scratched another car while driving, it is best to stop and check. If the other driver is present, minor scratches can be settled privately, while serious scratches require involving the traffic police. If the owner is not present, call the traffic police to document the incident, as driving away without checking could be considered a hit-and-run. 2. If you later discover significant scratches on your car, it is advisable to call the traffic police to report the situation and follow their procedures. Sometimes, the other driver may not be aware of the scratch or may choose to handle minor damage themselves. However, it is better to inform the traffic police for documentation. If you notice scratches on your car long after the incident and have not received any calls from the traffic police regarding the matter, simply repair the scratches on your car. 3. If you later realize it was just a minor scratch, it is possible that the other car did not even lose paint, and the owner may be completely unaware of the incident. In such cases, there is no need to worry about being accused of a hit-and-run; simply address the scratches on your own car.
