If the damage is severe, it is recommended to go to a 4S shop for repair. For minor cases, the following methods can be used: 1. Use toothpaste. The specific steps are as follows: wash the scratch with clean water and let it dry, then slightly wet a towel, apply toothpaste to the towel, and rub the scratch firmly. 2. Use nail polish. First, clean the scratched area with water and let it dry, then choose nail polish of the same color and apply it evenly to the scratch. You can apply it multiple times if needed. 3. Use a touch-up pen. For clearly visible scratches on the paint surface, it is recommended to use a touch-up pen for treatment. However, you need to know the official name of the car paint first, and then purchase a touch-up pen of the corresponding color. 4. For moderate to severe damage, it is recommended to go to a 4S shop or a quick repair shop for repair, such as when the paint has obvious peeling, deep scratches, or large scratch areas.

What does R mean on a driver's license?

Driver's license status R indicates that the license has not undergone annual review and has been deregistered by the system. Here is the relevant information: 1. Annual inspection: An A2 license should be inspected annually, and a health certificate must be submitted. The license will not be invalidated, but you need to go to the traffic police driver management department to handle the license restoration process. For a C license, it is reviewed and renewed every 6 years. 2. Overdue by more than one year: If you fail to participate in the annual inspection normally and it is overdue by more than one year, the license will definitely be deregistered. Therefore, the current license status should be deregistered and unusable. To obtain a driver's license again, you must first go to the local vehicle management office to complete the deregistration procedure, then re-enroll in a local driving school for training and exams.

How Long Can a Car Battery Sit and Still Start the Engine?

There is no fixed number of days for how long a car battery can sit normally, as it depends on the battery capacity and its level of degradation. Theoretically, a car can sit for up to two months without affecting the battery's normal operation. Battery Drain: The battery will still experience natural drain (approximately 1% per day). Poor Vehicle Condition: For cars in poorer condition, the battery may lose charge within about a week. However, there's no need to worry excessively—simply driving normally for one to two hours can restore the battery to its normal charge level. If the battery is already severely depleted to the point where it cannot start the engine, a jump-start will be required to reactivate it.

Does an Unstarted Car Count as a Flood-Damaged Vehicle If It Gets Submerged?

An unstarted car that gets submerged counts as a flood-damaged vehicle. How to Handle an Unstarted Submerged Car: If a vehicle is submerged while stationary and not started, the engine is generally not damaged, and compensation can be claimed if comprehensive insurance is purchased. However, if you attempt to start and drive the car out of the flooded area, causing engine damage, even if you have purchased flood insurance, the insurer will not cover the cost. If engine damage is caused by attempting to restart the car while submerged, the insurance company will not compensate, even with flood insurance. Therefore, never attempt to start a submerged car. Classification of Flood-Damaged Vehicles: If the water level exceeds the car's chassis, it is called a water-immersed vehicle; if the water level exceeds the oil dipstick, it can be classified as a semi-flooded vehicle; if the water level surpasses the engine hood or dashboard, it is considered a fully flooded vehicle.

Is it okay if the front of the car lightly hits the wall when parking?

It is generally okay if the front of the car lightly hits the wall when parking. Most car fronts have bumpers, which provide some cushioning and shock absorption. As long as the impact is light, there is usually no issue. However, it is important to be cautious, especially in crowded parking areas. Always pay attention when parking or reversing—safety first. Below are some parking precautions: 1. No parking in areas with no-parking signs: No-parking signs indicate that all vehicles are prohibited from stopping temporarily or for an extended period within the designated area. 2. No parking within yellow grid lines: Yellow grid lines indicate that parking is prohibited in this area for any reason. These are commonly found at intersections, entrances, and exits. 3. Yellow solid lines: Parking is prohibited on roads with yellow solid lines. The length of the yellow solid line indicates the extent of the no-parking zone. 4. No parking near bus stops: Parking is prohibited in areas such as bus stops, gas stations, emergency stations, and near fire hydrants.
