Is it safe in the car when it thunders? What should I pay attention to when driving when it thunders?

Thunder is safe in the car, but the following points should be noted:

1. Close all 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.

2. Turn off the car electronic equipment such as radio, GPS and car phone, 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.

Take shelter from the rain in the car. Don't get off and walk around. 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.

4. slow down the car. If lightning strikes the vehicle out of control, driving slowly can reduce the danger.

5. Lu Yu can actively wet 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.

6. Try not to park your car 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.
