Will there be any consequences if I scratched someone else's car a little and drove away?

If the offending vehicle can be identified, the driver will be detained. Accidentally scratching someone else's car while driving is considered a minor traffic accident. The other party's losses will be fully compensated by the insurance company. If not reported to the insurance company, the individual will bear the cost, which is usually not significant. The following are methods to deal with scratches on a car: 1. Hairline scratches: Hairline scratches can generally be removed by polishing or applying a rubbing compound. A simple wipe is usually enough to make the hairline scratch disappear. 2. Light scratches: For light scratches, a tube of toothpaste is sufficient. Toothpaste is very effective for shallow scratches that haven't damaged the car's primer, especially for marks left by the other vehicle's paint during a minor collision or residues from adhesive products like stickers. Most of these can be wiped clean. 3. Moderate to deep scratches: Moderate and deep scratches cannot be repaired by polishing. If the dent is small and the depth does not exceed 5mm, it can be leveled with filler putty and then repainted.
