Is it possible to have no trace after a car scrape? The handling methods for scraping another car are as follows: 1. Serious situation: You can call 122 or other accident squad for handling. Do not move the car from the scene and wait for the traffic police to inspect and take photos. 2. Minor situation: If both parties are present, you can discuss and settle privately. Methods to prevent car scrapes are as follows: 1. Parking location: Inside residential areas, corners of intersections are the most frequented places by vehicles. Avoid parking randomly in these areas as they are most prone to scrapes, so do not choose such places to park. 2. Good lighting: Poor lighting is not conducive to parking operations, easily causing unnecessary trouble for yourself and increasing the likelihood of others scraping your car.
My neighbor lightly brushed against a traffic bollard while turning last time, and surprisingly, there wasn't a scratch when he got out to check. It happened because he made a perpendicular, gentle contact, and the clear coat on the car's paint surface flexed and bounced back. However, three things to note: First, this only applies to low-speed contact with soft objects like plastic or rubber—metal objects like lampposts will definitely leave marks. Second, weather matters—rainwater and mud can temporarily hide scratches, making them seem invisible until everything dries. Third, the car's color is crucial—light scratches are hardest to spot on white cars. Even if it looks unharmed, I'd recommend using a flashlight to inspect the bumper at an angle, as sunlight reflecting off the paint can trick your eyes.
