Vextan 1st Gear February 26, 2009 Author Share February 26, 2009 in spore, struck by lightning is last thing u need to worry abt, everywhere is tall building. they tested in in Top Gear, they deliberately sit in the car and car struck by man made lightning, car nothing wrong and still able to drive off as long as u dun touch any metal parts of the car when the lightning strikes. noted, thanks for the sharing. so it is not safe to drive bare footed as the feet will come in contact with the pedals , wihch is definitely metal, right ?

Bystander50 5th Gear February 26, 2009 Share February 26, 2009 How do you know, if your car is struck by lightning during a heavy downpour ? will car just stall or will you fell anything, like being electrocuted ? Is it dangerous ? Most likely the electronics in your car will be fried <- this should be the tell-tale sign. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patcheon Neutral Newbie February 26, 2009 Share February 26, 2009 So an enclosed car with a metal roof should be OK, what about those with a glass roof? Kinda attracted to the new Jazz with a glass roof here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edwardtkh Clutched February 26, 2009 Share February 26, 2009 Your foot pedal is padded with rubber too.

Deathism Neutral Newbie February 27, 2009 Share February 27, 2009 if i remember correctly, i read online that a car, similar to an aircraft, has to be properly grounded...else if struck by lightning, may cause an explosion due to the stored fuel.. IF memory didnt fail me.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thumbs Neutral Newbie February 27, 2009 Share February 27, 2009 Have you been watching Curious Case of Benjamin Button? Anyway you should be fine assuming you are not in contact with any conductors because the vehicle acts as a Faraday cage. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
