Out of the car. It is better to be in a ditch than in a car.
Take shelter in an underground basement or cellar.
No. It doesn't take a very strong tornado to pick up or flip a car. If you are in a car and a tornado is coming you should go to the nearest sturdy building or underground shelter. If no shelter is nearby get out of the car and lie in a ditch or depression.
It depends on the car, but typically it takes a wind of at least 120 mph to lift a car. This is consistent with an EF2 tornado.
Generally not. If a tornado is closing in on you a car is one of the most dangerous places to be. If you are in a car and a tornado is coming close get out of it and seek shelter in a sturdy building. If no such shelter is available take cover in a ditch or depression.
The greatest distance traveled by a tornado was 219 miles.
If the tornado is still distant, drive perpendicular or diagonal to its path (depending on the roads) to get out of the way. If the tornado is getting close, abandon the car and get in a ditch as a last resort or, better yet, a nearby sturdy building.
The best thing to do is abandon the car and seek shelter in a sturdy building. If no shelter is available take cover in a ditch or depression. Do NOT seek shelter under a bridge.
You should not be in the car. A car is a dangerous place to be if there is a tornado. If a tornado is coming, dry to get out of its path by driving at a right angle to its motion, or at least as close to one as the roads will allow. If you are unsure of your ability to escape, get out of the car and lie in a ditch or depression.
Look to the right at the white line until the car passes you
That's actually not a myth to my knowledge. The reasoning behind the advice is that the rubber from the tires of the car is non-conductive so lightning won't strike the car.
The middle back seat is the safest.
The safest place to place a car seat is in the middle of the car or behind the drivers seat.
The safest baby car seat that I know of is Greco. It has know to be the safest car seat in the world. I purchase a lot of their products and people has been very pleased.
Pull over and get into the nearest ditch a depression in the ground. Do not seek shelter under an overpass.
Well the safest vehicle is probably some heavy duty truck, but as far as an actual car goes Volvo makes the safest cars hands down, probably the xc90 or s60 is one of the safest

Underground, (the further the better) or in an inner room with no windows. If you're in your car and the vortex is close abandon your car and look for a sturdy building or, if no shelter is available a ditch, culvert, or sewer pipe anything solid that can shield you (but is anchored to the ground).
Find a ditch which most roads have on both sides, DO NOT GO FOR COVER UNDER AN OVERPASS. Contrary to popular belief overpasses are possibly the most dangerous spot because it acts like a wind tunnel and you could be pulled out as well as debris flying through. But the safest thing is to find the lowest point (ditch) get out of the car and lie down in it covering your head.
