Scratching someone else's car paint and leaving is considered hit-and-run. If the party involved scratches another person's car and flees the scene, it constitutes hit-and-run as defined in Article 3 of the "Supreme People's Court's Interpretation on Several Issues Concerning the Specific Application of Law in the Trial of Criminal Cases of Traffic Accidents." In the event of a traffic accident, the party who flees the scene will bear full responsibility. Below are some driving precautions: 1. Check the rearview mirrors: When turning or changing lanes, always use turn signals and slow down. Always check the rearview mirrors before turning. Left turns mainly require checking the left rearview mirror, right turns mainly require checking the right rearview mirror, and both left and right turns require checking the interior rearview mirror. 2. Don't stare at the front of the car: When driving on a clear road, look straight ahead about 100 meters and avoid staring at the immediate front of the car. 3. Depress the clutch: Generally, when decelerating above 40 km/h, there's no need to depress the clutch first; wait until the speed drops to about 20 km/h before depressing the clutch. 4. Steering: Turn the steering wheel slowly at high speeds and quickly at low speeds.
