Can I drive in a thunderstorm? What problems should we pay attention to?

You can drive, but you need to pay attention to some points \x0d\ 1. Close all the windows to make the vehicle form a closed whole. A closed vehicle belongs to a hollow closed conductor. If struck by lightning, the current will be conducted to the ground through the body surface. This characteristic is called skin effect, and the occupants in the car are generally not affected, because according to the electrostatic shielding principle in physics, the electric field and potential in the closed hollow conductor are zero. \x0d\\x0d\2。 Turn off the radio, GPS, car phone and other car electronic equipment, and put away the corresponding antenna. Because the antenna is a conductor, its tip charge density is relatively high, which makes it easier to attract lightning. \x0d\\x0d\3。 Take shelter from the rain in the car and don't get off and walk. The vehicle itself is a conductor, which is easy to attract lightning. If lightning strikes a vehicle and approaches it, it may come into contact with the current conducted through the ground. \x0d\\x0d\4。 Slow down. If lightning strikes the vehicle out of control, driving slowly can reduce the danger. \x0d\\x0d\5。 The stagnant water on the land actively wetted the wheels. The conductivity of the tire is stronger, which avoids the greater harm of poor current conduction to the vehicle-mounted electronic equipment after being struck by lightning. \x0d\\x0d\6。 Try not to park under a big tree in the wild during a thunderstorm. Generally, lightning weather will not have any impact on vehicles. However, the dryness, shell material and structure of different car bodies are different, and the lightning protection effect is also different. So if you encounter a thunderstorm, you'd better find a low-lying place to stop and wait.
