If the car body has minor scratches, it's not suitable to claim insurance, and going to a professional auto beauty shop seems unnecessary. In this case, we can perform touch-up painting ourselves. We need to purchase a touch-up paint pen set online that matches the car's color code. The set will include all necessary tools for touch-up painting, such as sandpaper, putty, polishing compound, etc. More related information is as follows: 1. If the scratch reaches the car's primer or even causes deformation, affecting the car's appearance significantly and accelerating rust formation at the damaged area, we can use toothpaste for temporary treatment. Toothpaste can reduce the scratch marks and act as a simple barrier to prevent rust in the short term. However, toothpaste only provides temporary rust prevention, and it's essential to visit a professional auto beauty shop for repair as soon as possible. 2. Waxing is a crucial maintenance tip for white cars. White cars have relatively weaker resistance to corrosion and oxidation compared to cars of other colors. Over time, the white color of the car body may gradually turn yellow. Waxing a white car can effectively prevent paint corrosion and oxidation. Applying wax not only enhances the brightness of the white color but also serves as a protective layer on the paint surface in case of damage!

Can Points Be Deducted After Registering Someone Else's Vehicle?

When handling traffic violations for a non-personally owned vehicle, you need to bring your own ID card, the vehicle's registration certificate, as well as the driver's license and ID card of the violator to the traffic management department's violation handling window. Below is extended information regarding severe violation point deductions: 1. Severe Violations: A single violation resulting in a full 12-point deduction is considered severe and cannot be split between two driver's licenses. If a motor vehicle driver accumulates 12 points within a scoring cycle, the traffic management authorities will confiscate their driver's license. 2. Repeated Severe Violations: If 12 points have already been deducted within a scoring cycle and another violation occurs, points will still be deducted. If it's a severe violation, another 12 points will be deducted. Within a scoring cycle, if 12 points are deducted, the driver must retake the subject one exam. If 24 points are reached, not only must subject one be retaken, but subject three must also be retaken.

What is the sequence between shifting gears and releasing the handbrake?

You can either shift gears first and then release the handbrake, or release the handbrake first and then shift gears. Below is expanded information on whether to shift gears first or release the handbrake first: 1. Automatic transmission: Most automatic transmission vehicles use AT torque converter transmissions. Since this type of transmission has a soft connection with the engine, it doesn't matter whether you shift gears first and then release the handbrake, or release the handbrake first and then shift gears. 2. Manual transmission: Manual transmission vehicles allow the driver to control the clutch. Therefore, you can either press the clutch pedal, shift into first gear, and then release the handbrake, or release the handbrake first and then shift into first gear. 3. Smooth start: The key to a smooth start lies in mastering the timing of the clutch's semi-engagement and coordinating it closely with the accelerator pedal. When releasing the clutch pedal, start by lifting it slightly faster. As you approach the point where the engine sound changes and the vehicle body slightly vibrates, pause the clutch pedal briefly at this position while gradually pressing the accelerator pedal. Then, slowly lift your left foot until it is completely released.
