What number should I call to report a car scratch?
1 Answers
If your car gets scratched, you should call 112. In any accident, there is a responsible party, and accident liability must be determined. For example, in a rear-end collision, the following vehicle is always at fault. In such cases, simply fill out an accident report form and have both parties sign it (refer to previous columns for details on filling out the accident report form). If liability is unclear and neither party is willing to sign or provide a statement on the accident report, you should call the police and begin collecting evidence while waiting for the police to arrive and make a determination or record the incident. Important reminders: 1. Slow down at intersections and crosswalks: When passing through intersections or crosswalks, you are at risk of being hit by pedestrians or vehicles from either side. Therefore, besides observing traffic conditions on both sides of the road, you should also reduce your speed appropriately. 2. Check before making a U-turn: Many new drivers experience scratches because they fail to pay attention to other vehicles while making a U-turn. It is advisable to first check for U-turn signs and, if allowed, quickly make the turn when safe. 3. Lane changes: Observe the speed and driving intentions of vehicles in adjacent lanes, and practice accurately judging your car's position. You can use the reflection of lane markings in the side mirrors to better determine your car's position.
