Using toothpaste to repair car paint scratches is one of the most cost-effective methods, and it seems to work well in terms of reducing the appearance of scratches. However, toothpaste can only lessen the visibility of the scratches. Nail polish generally has a mediocre repair effect. It merely adds a transparent coating over the scratch, making it less noticeable visually, but it doesn’t provide any real repair. The touch-up paint pen repair process is a bit more complicated, but it can handle larger and deeper scratches. A paste-like repair agent similar to toothpaste also functions like toothpaste, but it can only repair minor scratches.

What is the fuel consumption of the Dodge Journey 7-seater SUV?

The Dodge Journey 7-seater SUV has a combined fuel consumption of 8.3~11.3L/100km. Here is a brief introduction to the Dodge Journey: 1. Basic Information: The Dodge Journey showcases a highly dynamic and muscular exterior design, largely retaining the rugged feel of an SUV. 2. Exterior Features: The most striking element at the front is the classic Dodge crosshair grille and the ram's head emblem at its center. The modern square halogen headlights provide excellent illumination. The interior is clean and straightforward, yet the design still echoes the exterior style, with sharp but not abrupt angles, reflecting both the ruggedness expected of an SUV and a focus on safety.

Do You Need to Wait for the Left-Turn Traffic Light When Making a U-Turn?

If there is no dedicated U-turn signal light, and the gap is marked with a dashed line, the U-turn is not affected by the left-turn signal light and does not require crossing the pedestrian crossing. If the gap is marked with a solid line, then the U-turn must cross the pedestrian crossing and is subject to the left-turn signal light. Making a U-turn directly may result in being photographed or penalized by on-site traffic police. When making a U-turn that requires crossing the pedestrian crossing, pedestrians must be yielded to: If pedestrians are walking on the right side of the crosswalk and have not reached the centerline of the road, vehicles on the left side of the road should slow down and proceed only when it is safe to do so, allowing pedestrians to pass. If pedestrians are waiting outside the boundary line between motorized and non-motorized lanes and have not entered the roadway, vehicles should slow down and proceed only when it is safe to do so. If pedestrians are crossing the boundary line between motorized and non-motorized lanes, vehicles that do not stop and yield are committing a traffic violation and should be penalized. If pedestrians are already in the motorized lane (Lane A) of the crosswalk, vehicles in Lane B should slow down and proceed only when it is safe to do so. Vehicles in Lane A that do not stop and yield are committing a violation and should be penalized. If pedestrians are waiting at the centerline of the road without entering the motorized lane, vehicles that do not stop and yield are committing a violation and should be penalized. If pedestrians cross the centerline of the road and enter the motorized lane, vehicles that do not stop and yield are committing a violation and should be penalized. If the road is divided by a green belt and pedestrians are waiting in the middle of the road, vehicles must slow down and proceed only when it is safe to do so. Scenarios where U-turns are allowed: If there is a clear U-turn sign at the intersection, a U-turn can be made. If there is a U-turn signal light, follow its instructions. If there is no signal light, make the U-turn based on the specific situation, ensuring it does not obstruct other vehicles or pedestrians. If there is no explicit prohibition of U-turns or left turns at the intersection, a U-turn can be made. "No explicit prohibition" means there are no "No U-turn" or "No Left Turn" signs, and the centerline is not solid. U-turns are also allowed in yellow grid zones. Yellow grid lines indicate no-stopping zones, typically at intersections prone to congestion or near important facilities. While stopping in these zones is prohibited, making a U-turn is allowed unless there is a central barrier. If there is a U-turn signal light at the intersection, follow its instructions—only proceed on green. If a "No Left Turn" sign is present alongside an "Allowed U-turn" sign, U-turns are permitted, but left turns are not. Note that "No U-turn" is not the same as "No Left Turn." Things to note when making a U-turn at an intersection: Check the road markings. If the line is solid, U-turns are prohibited under any circumstances. Continue driving to find a suitable spot. If there is a "No Left Turn" sign, even if there is no explicit "No U-turn" sign, U-turns are not allowed at that intersection, as U-turns inherently involve a left turn. U-turns must be made from the innermost left-turn lane. If you are in the second left-turn lane, U-turns are not permitted at that intersection. Always yield to oncoming traffic when making a U-turn. Proceed only if it does not interfere with the normal flow of traffic; otherwise, you may bear full responsibility for any accidents. Near the intersection stop line, lanes often have guiding arrows. The leftmost lane may not always have a left-turn arrow. If it has a straight arrow, U-turns are prohibited even if there are no explicit "No U-turn" signs.

What are the inconveniences of registering a car under parents' names?

In principle, it is not recommended to use someone else's quota. The reason is that when purchasing a car, dealing with vehicle issues, selling the car, or undergoing annual inspections, parents will need to be present, which can be quite troublesome. Below are some considerations for car purchases: 1. Carefully inspect the car paint: Good car paint feels smooth and looks shiny, while poor-quality paint may be uneven and prone to rust, especially white car paint, which may have small yellow spots upon close inspection. 2. Pay attention to panel gaps: In terms of exterior details, apart from the paint, the alignment of the body panels is crucial. This was an issue in the past, but modern car manufacturing pays more attention to this aspect. Poor alignment indicates subpar assembly quality, which can lead to strange noises over time.

How many points are deducted for rolling back on a slope?

Stalling will deduct 10 points, rolling back after stalling deducts 100 points, failing to restart within 30 seconds after stalling deducts 100 points, and improper restart after stalling (starting without releasing the handbrake or starting in neutral) deducts 100 points. Below are relevant explanations: 1. Reasons for rolling back: During driving tests, rolling back occurs because the clutch engagement point isn't sufficiently raised. Without applying throttle, the idle speed may be insufficient to start the car on a slope, causing stalling. 2. Reasons for stalling: Rolling back followed by sudden braking or clutch release causes stalling. It could also be due to releasing the handbrake too late during startup.
