Should you avoid danger in the car in thunderstorm weather?

Explain as follows

Whether the thunderstorm weather should be avoided in the car depends on the specific situation.

If the terrain is low and the risk of lightning strike is low, the vehicle is not an ideal safe haven! When parking, it is prone to sideslip, flameout, drowning and other dangers! At this time, there should always be an escape hammer on the car to prevent the windows and doors from locking! Pay special attention to the fact that vehicles cannot be flooded.

If the road where the vehicle is located is high and there is no obvious water and waterlogging, lightning protection can be carried out in the car! The metal shell of automobile has good lightning protection effect. Faraday's electrostatic shielding principle is applied: the shell of conductor plays a role of "maintenance" in it, so that it is not affected by external electric field, which is called electrostatic shielding.
