What to Do When Your Car is Rear-Ended?

Reasons for Metal Friction Sounds from Tires While Driving

Reasons for metal friction sounds from tires while driving: 1. It could be that there are small stones stuck in the tire treads. You can feel this after driving on a gravel road and then onto a cement road. The sound occurs once per rotation, and the faster you go, the more frequent the sound becomes. Simply perform a maintenance check to remove the small stones stuck in the tires. 2. Another possibility is that there might be small, hard foreign objects stuck between the brake disc and the brake caliper. 3. Steering gear noise, which only occurs when the steering wheel is turned to a certain angle. For the above issues, it's best to have them checked at a 4S shop. Although these problems are not major, the noise can be quite annoying. However, don’t let the 4S shop staff trick you into replacing parts—these issues usually just require adjustment and don’t need part replacements.

What Causes Slow Tire Leakage?

Here are the main reasons for slow tire leakage and their solutions: 1. Leaky valve core: Pour water on the tire and observe if bubbles form. If bubbles appear, slightly loosen the dust cap without pressing against the valve core. 2. Pinholes in the tire: Inflate the tire fully and use a soft brush with soapy water to clean the pinholes. 3. Foreign objects puncturing the tire: Punctures from foreign objects are the most common tire damage. Common objects that can puncture tires include nails, screws, wires, glass shards, sharp stones, and tile fragments. Among these, nails and screws are most likely to penetrate the tire, causing slow leaks and remaining lodged in the puncture. If not removed promptly, they can worsen the damage. 4. Damage to the tire sidewall or inner edge: The sidewall and inner edge of the tire are also vulnerable areas. If the sidewall frequently rubs against curbs, it can wear down over time, leading to slow leaks and a high risk of blowouts.

How to Judge the Distance of the Rear Vehicle in the Rearview Mirror?

Methods to judge the distance of the rear vehicle in the rearview mirror are as follows: 1. If the rear vehicle is within the safe zone of the rearview mirror and positioned on the right side, the distance is relatively large, and you can turn. 2. If the rear vehicle is within the entire zone and positioned on the right side, the distance is relatively far, and you can turn. 3. If the rear vehicle's body is close to the boundary between the safe zone and the danger zone, the distance is about 5 meters, and you can turn. If the rear vehicle's body has entered the left danger zone of the left rearview mirror, the distance is very close, and you should not turn. 4. When the rear vehicle occupies 1/4 of the right rearview mirror and the entire vehicle can be seen, the distance is about 25 meters, and you can turn. When the rear vehicle occupies 1/3 of the right rearview mirror, the distance is about 15 meters, and you can perform a turning operation. 5. When the rear vehicle occupies half of the right rearview mirror and the entire vehicle can be seen, the distance is about 10 meters, and you can signal and turn. When the rear vehicle occupies half of the right rearview mirror but only half of the vehicle body can be seen, the distance is very close, and you should not turn. 6. When the front wheels of the rear vehicle can be seen in the rearview mirror, the distance is about 15-20 meters; when the grille of the rear vehicle can be seen, the distance is about 6-8 meters; when the grille cannot be seen, the distance is about 3 meters.
