Methods for treating car body scratches with toothpaste: 1. First, spray water on the scratch with a small spray bottle, then wipe the scratched area clean with a tissue; 2. Apply toothpaste to the scratch and gently rub and spread it over the scratch and surrounding area with your hand and a tissue; 3. After half a minute, spread the toothpaste evenly on the car body; 4. Wait another half a minute, then slowly wipe the toothpaste off the car body with a tissue. Once all the toothpaste is removed, gently polish the area. If the scratches on the paint surface are very visible, it is recommended to use a touch-up pen for treatment. Be sure to know the official name of your car's paint color, then purchase a touch-up pen of the corresponding color. For deeper scratches, it is advisable to visit a car wash shop and have professionals help with the repair.

Which Lane to Take for a Left Turn on a Three-Lane Road?

When making a left turn onto a three-lane road, you should enter the leftmost lane. Here is relevant information: 1. Laws and Regulations: According to the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China," motor vehicles passing through signal-controlled intersections must comply with the following rules: at intersections with marked lanes, enter the appropriate lane based on the intended direction of travel; vehicles preparing to enter a roundabout must yield to vehicles already inside the intersection. 2. Additional Information: Yield to vehicles with the right of way as indicated by traffic signs or markings; if there are no traffic signs or markings, stop before entering the intersection to observe and yield to vehicles coming from the right; turning vehicles must yield to vehicles going straight; right-turning vehicles from the opposite direction must yield to left-turning vehicles.

Should You Press the Brake Once or Continuously?

When the vehicle speed is not too fast, press the brake slowly. When the vehicle speed is high, press the brake repeatedly to reduce the speed before pressing it slowly. Here is some relevant information: 1. Working Principle: Pressing the car's brake is similar to squeezing the brake on a bicycle. There is a fixed, non-rotating brake shoe on the car's axle, which has rough friction pads. When the driver presses the brake, high-pressure gas pushes the brake shoe to tightly grip the axle, preventing it from rotating. When the axle stops rotating, the wheels also stop turning, and the car naturally comes to a halt. 2. Dual Braking: Braking the wheels involves using the braking device to immobilize the wheels, stopping their movement. Directional braking is used in swivel wheels to convert them into fixed-direction wheels, maintaining a constant direction. Dual braking means both the wheels and direction are locked, providing a strong fixing effect.

What is the emission standard for 2009 cars?

2009 cars are either China III or China IV emission standard. Cars produced between July 2007 and September 2009 comply with China III standard, while those manufactured after September 2009 generally meet China IV standard. Here is relevant information: 1. Vehicle emission standards: These refer to regulations limiting harmful gases emitted from vehicle exhaust, including CO (carbon monoxide), HC+NOx (hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides), and PM (particulate matter, soot). Starting from January 1, 2004, Beijing upgraded its vehicle emission standards from Euro I to Euro II, and officially implemented Euro III standards by 2008. 2. Checking method: You can easily check a car's emission standard by looking at the label on the back of its environmental protection compliance sticker. The vehicle conformity certificate's first page contains emission standard information, though it's not directly labeled as China III/IV but rather appears as a string of characters.

What are the criteria for obtaining a blue license plate?

The standard for hanging a blue license plate applies to light-duty and mini trucks. The maximum size for a truck eligible for a blue license plate must have a vehicle length of less than 6 meters and a total mass of less than 4,500 kg. Below is the relevant information: 1. Trucks: Trucks are categorized into three types: light-duty, medium-duty, and heavy-duty. Classification methods and standards vary across countries. In China, trucks are classified based on their load capacity: light-duty trucks have a load capacity of less than 3.5 tons, medium-duty trucks range from 4 to 8 tons, and heavy-duty trucks exceed 8 tons. 2. The standard classification for trucks is as follows: Heavy-duty: Vehicle length ≥ 6m, total mass ≥ 12,000kg. Medium-duty: Vehicle length ≥ 6m, total mass ≥ 4,500kg and < 12,000kg. Light-duty: Vehicle length < 6m, total mass < 4,500kg. Mini: Vehicle length ≤ 3.5m, total mass ≤ 1,800kg.

What Causes the Abnormal Noise in the Rear Wheels When Braking?

Here are the reasons for abnormal noise in the rear wheels when braking: 1. Severely worn brake pads: This is usually caused by the brake pads reaching the warning line or being completely worn out. The noise is mostly a sharp metal friction sound. If accompanied by reduced braking effectiveness, this is likely the cause. 2. Abnormal noise due to brake pad material: Harder brake pad materials are more prone to causing such noises, while softer materials are less likely to produce this type of noise. However, softer materials wear out faster, resulting in a shorter replacement cycle compared to harder materials. 3. Improper installation of the braking system: Improper installation can lead to abnormal noise, which is more complex. If this is the case, repairs are necessary.

Can lane changing be performed on triple dashed lines?

Dashed lines allow lane changing. Here is the relevant information: 1. Specific requirements: It is not allowed to cross solid white lines to change lanes into the main lane. At white dashed lines ahead, lane changing across the line is permitted only when safety is ensured. Violations incur a fine of 200 yuan and 3 penalty points. At some highway exits where solid white lines are present, crossing them to change lanes into the auxiliary lane to exit the highway is prohibited. Lane changes to exit the highway must be made in advance at white dashed lines. 2. White dashed lines: When painted on road sections, they are used to separate traffic flows in the same direction or serve as safe driving distance markers; when painted at intersections, they guide vehicle movement.
