If the floodwater reaches the dashboard level, extensive cleaning is required not only for the interior of the vehicle but also around the engine. At the same time, some parts must be replaced. The owner should weigh the remaining value of the vehicle against the repair costs before deciding whether to proceed with the repairs.

How can beginners judge the left and right width of the car?

Methods for beginners to judge the left and right width of the car: 1. Judging the position of the left wheel: When the line of sight aligns the protruding node of the left wiper with an object on the ground, the left wheel will pass over that object while moving; 2. Driving 60 cm away from the center line: Maintaining a distance of 60 cm from the center line during normal driving is relatively safe; 3. Judging the position of the right wheel: When the line of sight aligns the right wiper with the target, the tire will pass over that target; 4. Driving 60 cm away from the roadside on the right: When the right washer nozzle overlaps with the roadside target, the car body is still 60 cm away from the roadside; 5. Parking close to the roadside on the right: When the node of the right wiper aligns with the roadside, slightly pulling the steering wheel to the left can achieve parking 10 cm away from the roadside.

Can One Glass of Beer Be Detected as Drunk Driving?

One glass of beer can be detected as drunk driving. Drunk driving refers to a driver's blood alcohol content (BAC) being equal to or greater than 20 milligrams per 100 milliliters but less than 80 milligrams. If the BAC exceeds 80 milligrams per 100 milliliters, it is considered driving under severe intoxication. Typically, consuming one or two glasses of beer, approximately one ounce of 12-degree red wine, or half an ounce of 50-degree liquor can reach the drunk driving standard. After drinking, even if one is not intoxicated, alcohol affects the central nervous system, putting the body's nervous system in a state of anesthesia and inhibition. This can lead to visual impairment, reduced tactile sensitivity, sluggish motor reflexes, and fatigue. Driving requires high concentration to anticipate road conditions, and when these effects occur, the likelihood of traffic accidents increases, posing a threat to the safety of oneself and others. Therefore, it is advised not to drive after drinking and not to drink when driving.
