A lightning storm starts while you drive a car with a hard metal roof, and there is no building nearby. What is the safest thing to do?
Correct answer: Stay inside with the doors closed and windows up, and do not touch metal parts
Why
The safest place in a thunderstorm is a well-built building with plumbing and electric wiring. In the car, do not use a radio that is connected to an outside antenna. A soft-top vehicle, such as a convertible, does not give the same protection.
