A car will definitely leave traces after hitting a pedestrian, because when a vehicle collides with a person, the dust on the car will be carried away by the person, inevitably leaving marks. Methods to avoid accidents while driving: Do not rush to take the right of way while driving, especially for vehicles making right turns. In many cities, right turns are allowed without traffic signals, and drivers can turn right directly. At this time, there may be people riding electric bikes or bicycles on the adjacent non-motorized vehicle lane. These individuals often do not pay much attention to traffic rules or feel bold, believing that car drivers would not dare to hit them. Therefore, when approaching a right-turn intersection, always stop to let pedestrians pass first or observe the situation on the right-side non-motorized vehicle lane. Never rush for that one minute. Precautions when passing through traffic signal intersections: Pay attention to changes in traffic signals. Even when the light is green, be mindful of pedestrians and avoid speeding. Be prepared to stop at any time to prevent danger. Also, pay attention to the lane in which the vehicle is traveling and drive in the designated lane.

To be honest, after driving for so many years, I don't think it's possible for a sedan to hit a pedestrian without leaving any traces. When the car body makes contact with a person, the impact force will cause deformation to the front end or bumper, leaving dents or scratches. Especially at higher speeds, the paint may get damaged, and the glass might crack. In low-speed accidents, the marks might be lighter, such as minor scratches or stains, but the impacted area will still show signs. Environmental factors like rain might wash away some evidence, but careful inspection will always reveal something. Remember, always drive carefully around pedestrians. If an accident occurs, don't take chances by fleeing the scene. You must get out to check and call the police immediately, otherwise, the consequences could be severe. Safe driving not only protects others but also spares you from a guilty conscience.

After working in the auto repair industry for a long time, I've seen numerous cases of vehicle damage after accidents. When hitting a pedestrian, the bumper often gets dented or deformed, headlights may shatter, and the car's paint can get scratched or peeled off. At high speeds, the damage is more obvious, while at low speeds there might be minor marks but biological traces like fingerprints, bloodstains, or hair are more likely to remain. Vehicle materials like plastic bumpers may rebound, but traces still remain. It's recommended to thoroughly inspect the front and underside of the vehicle after an accident, not overlooking any abnormalities. Regular maintenance checks on the car's body condition can also help prevent accidents. Safe driving should always be a priority, and taking responsibility when accidents occur is fundamental morality.

After hitting a pedestrian, there will definitely be damage points on the vehicle body, commonly seen as dents or paint scratches. Higher speeds result in more severe damage, while at low speeds there may only be minor marks like fine cracks. The car body at the impact point will deform, and rain may wash away some visible signs, but evidence like fabric fibers often remains. It's advised to stop immediately after an accident to inspect and report the incident. Pay attention to blind spots while driving and reduce speed in advance to prevent tragedies. Safety should always come first.

Can a Misfiring Cylinder at Idle Still Run?

If the engine shakes at idle but runs fine when driving, then it is not a misfiring cylinder. If the engine shakes at idle, it may be due to a damaged throttle body or some sensors. If the engine has a misfiring cylinder, then one cylinder is not working whether at idle or while driving. Misfiring cylinders are mostly caused by faults in the ignition system. Introduction to the automotive engine ignition system: 1. The automotive engine ignition system mainly consists of an ignition coil and spark plugs. 2. Spark plugs are wearable parts that require regular replacement. If spark plugs are used for a long time, the electrode gap will widen, which can affect the spark plug's ignition. 3. Prolonged use of spark plugs can lead to carbon buildup on the electrodes, which also affects the spark plug's ignition.

Does taking a car to a repair shop for maintenance affect vehicle inspection?

Taking a car to a repair shop for maintenance will not affect the vehicle inspection. Maintenance strategies for vehicles: Annual inspection is a major event for vehicles, arguably the best opportunity to identify potential hazards and reduce vehicle malfunctions. During the vehicle annual inspection, it is essential to sign a maintenance contract with the repair party, clearly specifying the maintenance items, replacement parts, and confirming the inspection schedule without ambiguity. The meaning of "General draws the car": Even if you are not knowledgeable, when the repair party claims that a certain part is faulty and needs replacement, the car owner can compare the old part with the new one and ask the repair party to point out the damage on the old part before comparing it with the new one. Have the repair shop clearly list all maintenance items and required replacement parts, along with their prices.

How wide is the subgrade of a bidirectional eight-lane road?

Bidirectional eight-lane road subgrade is 2x15 wide. Components of a highway: The highway surface mainly includes several major parts such as the main road, ramps, and auxiliary lanes. The main road is the carriageway, which is divided from left to right into overtaking lanes, fast lanes, and slow lanes (travel lanes) according to different quantities. Ramps come in complex and diverse forms, including functional ramps, acceleration lanes, deceleration lanes, collector-distributor lanes, and turning ramps, depending on their specific functions. Types of highways: Depending on the scale of the road, highways are divided into three types: bidirectional four-lane, bidirectional six-lane, and bidirectional eight-lane.

What type of fuel should be used for motorcycles with a compression ratio greater than 11?

You can use 97-octane gasoline. Engine compression ratio: Generally speaking, the higher the compression ratio of an engine, the smaller the volume of the combustible mixture being compressed, resulting in greater power and lower fuel consumption. However, the engine's compression ratio must be matched with another indicator, which is the gasoline's anti-knock index, also known as the octane number, or the gasoline grade. Types of fuel: Currently, the fuel market abroad offers gasoline in three grades: 93, 95, and 98. Engine compression ratios are also designed with reference to these three grades, so there are not many engines that are compatible with 90-octane gasoline.

Why don't rally motorcycles use four-cylinder engines?

Rally motorcycles focus on low-end torque, and the power delivery of twin-cylinder and single-cylinder engines is more suitable for rally bikes. Reasons: Rally motorcycles emphasize low-end torque, and the power characteristics of twin-cylinder and single-cylinder engines are better suited for rally applications. Four-cylinder engines prioritize high-RPM performance and elasticity, which results in relatively weaker low-end torque, making them more suitable for sport bikes. Additional Information: The differences between rally motorcycles and touring motorcycles include: Comfort - Touring bikes are specifically designed for long-distance travel and offer greater comfort; Speed - Rally bikes focus on competition, with riding positions and power delivery designed for racing, such as reduced wind resistance, extreme acceleration, and higher off-road capability; Fuel Efficiency - Touring motorcycles generally have lower fuel consumption and are more economical.
