What else can I help you with?
Can you be electrocuted if you are in your car in a thunderstorm?
NO.i saw a programme on telly where they simulated a lightning strike on top of a car. the charge went round the frame and into the rubber tyres that were in touch with the ground. 2 people were sat in it and were ok. i daresay it may be different if your windows were down and you were touching the outer bodywork??
Does a thunderstorm strike a car does a thunderstorm strike on one place how long does a thunderstorm strike?
A thunderstorm does not strike anything, it is "lightening" that does that.
Is a car faster than a thunderstorm?
A typical thunderstorm moves at about 30 miles per hour but hey can move as fast as 70 mph. So it is possible for a car to move faster than a thunderstorm, but that may involve moving at speeds that are dangerous on wet roads.
Where is the best plase to hide during a thunderstorm?
The best place to hide during a thunderstorm is indoors in a sturdy building. Avoid using electrical appliances and plumbing, and stay away from windows and doors. If outdoors, seek shelter in a car or a low-lying area away from trees and metal objects.
Why can't you stand under a tree during a thunderstorm?
Electricity (which includes lightning, of course) always takes the path of least resistance, or the shortest path. Since trees are taller, they are closer to the source of the lighting (the sky), and so lighting will almost always strike a tree. The lightning travels through the tree, causing the sap and water to expand very rapidly because it heats up very quickly. The tree isn't able to hold itself together, and the tree will probably explode. This could be very dangerous. (OR) A tree is the highest point in the field, and so is most likely to be struck by lightning. If you're under the tree when it's hit by lightning, you stand a very good chance of (a) being hit by the lightning along with the tree, (b) getting electrocuted by the electric field set up on the ground around the tree, and (c) getting hit by a falling branch (or the tree itself!) after the strike. If you're in a bare field when a thunderstorm starts, the traditional answer is that you're supposed to lie down flat in the field and wait for the thunderstorm to pass. A better answer is to crouch low and GET TO A CAR, FAST! You can't be electrocuted by lighting inside a metal car.

Why can't you get electrocuted during a thunderstorm in a car?
Faradays cage. The electricity runs in the outside of a metallic body. The rubber tires keep you from being grounded. Being grounded is what causes you to be electrocuted. That's why birds don't get fried when they sit on electrical wires!
Am I safe in my car during a thunderstorm"?
Yes, you are generally safe in your car during a thunderstorm as long as you stay inside and avoid touching metal surfaces. The metal frame of the car acts as a Faraday cage, protecting you from lightning strikes.
Is it safe to sit in a car during a thunderstorm?
It is generally safe to sit in a car during a thunderstorm because the metal frame of the car acts as a Faraday cage, protecting occupants from lightning strikes. However, it is important to avoid touching metal surfaces inside the car and to stay away from windows to minimize the risk of injury.
What are some common safety questions about thunderstorms that people should be aware of?
Some common safety questions about thunderstorms that people should be aware of include: What should I do if I am caught outside during a thunderstorm? Is it safe to use electronic devices during a thunderstorm? How can I protect my home from lightning strikes? What are the signs of an approaching thunderstorm? Should I seek shelter in a car during a thunderstorm?

Why is it safe to sit inside a car during lightning?
It is safe to sit inside a car during lightning because the metal frame of the car acts as a Faraday cage, directing the electrical current around the outside of the vehicle and protecting those inside from being electrocuted.
Can you be electrocuted by your car?
hybrid uses 3-phase electrics - Yes
Why aren't you electrocuted when in a bumper car?
cause u just arent....
Is a car a safe place to be in a thunderstorm?
No, a car is generally a safe place to be in a thunderstorm due to the metal frame providing protection from lightning strikes.
Why is it safe to be in a car during a thunderstorm?
Being inside a car during a thunderstorm is relatively safe because the metal frame of the car acts as a Faraday cage, which helps to conduct electricity around the outside of the vehicle, keeping occupants safe inside. Just make sure to avoid touching metal surfaces inside the car and stay away from open windows.
Is a car faster than a thunderstorm?
A typical thunderstorm moves at about 30 miles per hour but hey can move as fast as 70 mph. So it is possible for a car to move faster than a thunderstorm, but that may involve moving at speeds that are dangerous on wet roads.
