Will a car leave no trace at all after hitting a pedestrian?
2 Answers
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.
