If you are not in a ditch, try to find one nearby. If none is available, find a low spot and lie flat on the ground.

If the tornado is relatively close and no other shelter is available then yes. Tornadoes are fast moving and unpredictable, you should not attempt to outrun one.
If you are caught out doors during a tornado, it is best to find an underground area where the wind can't reach. Don't go somewhere where the wind can flow through as it will possibly intensify wind speeds.
If the tornado is close and approaching you, leave the vehicle for some sort of shelter, preferably underground. If you cannot get inside, lie in a ditch or depression in the ground.
To some degree. You should only take cover in a ditch from a tornado as a last resort if no shelter is available.
If you are outside with no shelter a available and a tornado is coming the best option is to lie in a ditch or depression in the ground
Lie in a ditch or depression in the ground if you cannot get to shelter.
Get to a nearby sturdy building if possible. If you have no access to shelter and the tornado is in the distance driver perpendicular or diagonal to the tornado's path depending on what the road allows. If the tornado is getting close get out of the vehicle and lie down in a ditch or depression. Do not seek shelter under a bridge.
Get the the lowest place you can such as a ditch or depression and lie down. Cover your head.
Your best option is to lie down in a ditch or depression.
1st: be aware. Don't get caught in a tornado. If you can drive at right angles to it, do so. If you find yourself close to one abandon the vehicle and take cover in a ditch. Do not seek shelter under an overpass.
