You can dial 122, the traffic management authority's hotline for public traffic accident reports. If there are casualties or a major accident, call 122 first and then dial 120 for emergency assistance. If both 122 and 120 are busy, you may directly call 110, and the operator will transfer your call to the traffic police department. After a vehicle scratch occurs, refer to the following solutions: 1. Solution 1: If there are fatalities, injuries, or threats to personal safety, call the police immediately. For non-mandatory reporting scenarios, parties may choose to settle privately for faster resolution. 2. Solution 2: Carefully inspect the vehicle condition and promptly document the scratched areas and overall status. 3. Solution 3: Record information of both vehicles and their owners. 4. Solution 4: Clarify liability determination, paying special attention to each party's responsibilities during the traffic police's assessment.

If my car gets scratched, I will definitely call 110 to report to the police immediately. Park in a safe place and turn on the hazard lights to avoid secondary accidents. When reporting to the police, clearly state the location, vehicle damage, and the characteristics of the other vehicle. Do not move the scene before the police arrive, and take photos of the entire car with your phone, including the license plate and scratch evidence. Wait for the police to handle the responsibility determination and obtain the accident report. Then contact the insurance company to report the claim, avoiding private settlements that may cause disputes. It is very important to stay calm throughout the process, especially at night or on busy roads, protecting your rights is the top priority. The police hotline 110 is a free service available 24/7 and is very reliable. I have used it once before, and the handling was quick and fair.

If my car gets scratched, I will immediately call 110 to report to the police. The officers on site can help record the accident details and determine liability more accurately. At the same time, I always get out of the car to check the extent of the damage and take a few photos of the scene as evidence. If the other party flees, note down their license plate or describe their features. After reporting, don't rush to move the vehicle; wait until everything is handled before contacting the insurance company to file a claim. Calling 110 is an efficient choice—no need for apps or other tools, especially for minor accidents, it's the most straightforward. Remember, safety first: park the car, turn on the hazard lights, and avoid arguments. After reporting, the police usually arrive within minutes and handle things quickly. This method is simple and effective, and I recommend everyone keep it in mind.

If my car gets scratched, I wouldn't hesitate to call 110 to report to the police. After reporting, I would park and check the damage, quickly taking photos of the car's damage to prevent the other party from shirking responsibility. The police hotline 110 operates 24/7 and can help dispatch traffic police to the scene to determine liability. If there's an app like 12123 available, for minor accidents, calling the police is still the safer first choice. While waiting for the police to arrive, it's crucial to stay calm and protect the scene. Afterward, contact the insurance company to provide the accident report for claims. Throughout the process, ensure safety and avoid conflicts. Reporting to the police is the formal procedure to protect oneself.

Do I Need to Press the Clutch When Braking in Second Gear?

Whether to press the clutch when braking in second gear depends on how much speed you need to reduce. If the speed reduction is minimal, there's no need to press the clutch. However, if you need to significantly reduce speed without stopping, you should press the clutch first before braking. Here are a few scenarios: When the speed reduction is slight, such as decreasing from 70 km/h to 65 km/h, you can directly apply the brake without pressing the clutch. When you need to significantly reduce speed without stopping—for example, if you're in 5th gear at 70 km/h and need to slow down to 10 km/h—failing to press the clutch and applying heavy brakes will cause the vehicle to start shaking once the speed drops below a certain point (e.g., under 30 km/h). If the speed drops further or the vehicle stops, it may stall. In such cases, you should press the clutch first and then apply the brakes. The role of the clutch: The clutch allows the driving force of the car to increase gradually, enabling smooth starts. It temporarily separates the engine from the transmission for gear shifting, prevents overload in the drivetrain, and reduces torsional vibration impacts from the engine, thereby extending the lifespan of the transmission gears.

What Causes the Abnormal Noise When an Electric Vehicle Gets Water Inside?

Electric vehicles producing abnormal noise after getting water inside is because water ingress after rain causes short circuits or malfunctions in the controller or wiring. Electric vehicles are relatively vulnerable to water, and it's common to hear sounds from the horn, alarm, or internal water flow after rain. Below are detailed explanations about water ingress in electric vehicles: Electric Vehicle Circuit Drying Method: The simplest troubleshooting method is using the circuit drying technique. The circuitry of an electric vehicle is not complex, especially for components like alarms, which are mostly located in the front. Use a screwdriver to remove the shell, carefully inspect the circuits, wipe away any internal water accumulation, and use tools like a hairdryer to dry out the moisture. Then, place the electric vehicle in a well-ventilated, dry area for some time. Generally, this can resolve the issue. Precautions for Water Ingress in Electric Vehicles: Do not power on immediately; ensure it is completely dry before resuming operation. Electric vehicles have certain waterproof capabilities, and most can be used again after drying. If the noise persists after 24-48 hours of being stationary, you can then inspect the control wiring of the electric vehicle. The main areas where the controller gets water are at the wire connectors, and water accumulation in control plugs can lead to appliance malfunctions. Disconnect each plug to drain the water and dry them with a hairdryer. If drying doesn't help, the vehicle should be sent to a repair shop for inspection.

Should you start the engine directly or wait for the voice prompt in Subject 3?

Subject 3 requires you to start the engine first and then wait for the voice prompt. The road driving skills test for Subject 3 generally includes: preparation before getting on the vehicle, simulated lighting test, starting, driving straight, shifting gears, changing lanes, pulling over, going straight through intersections, turning left at intersections, turning right at intersections, crossing pedestrian crossings, passing school zones, passing bus stops, meeting vehicles, overtaking, making U-turns, night driving, and safety and civilized driving knowledge test. Here are the precautions for the Subject 3 test: Inspection before getting on the vehicle: Before getting on the vehicle, you need to walk around the vehicle for inspection. There are two sensors on the test vehicle, and the examinee must be detected by the sensors during this walk-around to complete this step. Failure to do so will result in point deduction. Adjustments after getting on the vehicle: Once on the vehicle, first adjust the seat to a comfortable angle and position, then fasten the seat belt. This is the most crucial step—failure to fasten the seat belt will result in an immediate fail. After that, adjust the rearview mirror and shift gears before starting the engine. Body movements: During the test, examinees must perform certain body movements, such as looking back for observation. These movements must be executed properly to avoid point deductions due to improper execution. Follow the voice prompts: During the test, you must operate according to the voice prompts, following the steps one by one. Do not perform actions in advance, as this will result in point deductions. Maintain a good mindset: During the test, it is essential to stay calm. Many examinees become overly nervous upon hearing the voice prompts, leading to forgetfulness of the next steps. Examinees should prepare mentally before the test.

What does 'left airbag open circuit' mean?

Left airbag open circuit indicates a malfunction in the airbag system. Automobile Airbags: Automobile airbags are passive safety devices that rapidly inflate during a collision to protect occupants. How Car Airbags Work: When a vehicle experiences a certain level of impact force, the airbag system triggers a chemical reaction similar to a small explosive charge. The concealed airbags instantly inflate and deploy, creating a cushion between occupants and interior components before physical contact occurs. This reduces impact forces on the body, thereby minimizing occupant injuries.
