Is it safe to drive on the road in lightning?

Many drivers are hesitant when they suddenly encounter lightning weather while driving. They don't know whether to continue driving or choose to park on the side of the road, and they don't know whether their cars will be struck by lightning. So, what should drivers do when they encounter lightning weather?

1) In case of sudden thunderstorm, slow down first. When you suddenly encounter a thunderstorm while driving, you must first slow down and keep your distance from the car in front. At this time, try not to brake urgently, because there is much rain on the road surface and the tire adhesion is low.

2) Can't drive, park or have a rest. If the line of sight is not good at this time, the driver must turn on the fog lights, width lights or danger warning lights in time; If you still can't drive normally, the driver should find a safe place to stop and rest. It should be noted that when parking in thunderstorm weather, don't park your car under the big tree or under the billboard of the building.

3) Close the doors and windows to avoid lightning strike. Drivers should close all doors and windows and stay in the carriage, which is an ideal place to avoid lightning while driving. Because the car shell is metal, because it has shielding effect, even if lightning strikes the car, it will not hurt people.

4) Don't get off when there is lightning and thunder. Never get off the bus to hide from the rain when there is lightning and thunder.

5) Don't talk on the cell phone or turn on the electric appliance. Never talk on your cell phone or listen to the radio when you are hiding from lightning in the carriage.

6) Pull over and turn on the lights for warning. When parking on the side of the road to avoid a thunderstorm, be sure to pull over and turn on the danger warning light to attract the attention of the vehicles behind.

7) Stay away from heights in lightning weather. When encountering lightning weather in the wild, the most important thing is to stay away from high places first.

(1) If there is a car to avoid, it is ideal to hide in the car, but don't start the car.

(2) If there is no car to avoid, then caves, ditches, canyons or glades under tall trees are also better protection places;

(3) If only the cave can escape, then after entering the cave, you need to leave all vertical rock walls 3 meters away;

(4) If you are in the open air, you need to squat at a distance of twice the height of the isolated tree;

⑤ If you feel that your hair is standing up or your skin is shaking, immediately kneel down with your feet together and try your best to shrink into a ball;

If many people are together, do not hold hands with each other.
