Heavy rain and more rain in summer

Thunderstorms and more rain in summer reminded the majority of drivers that they must be prepared for summer traffic and lightning protection.

The places where cars are more vulnerable to lightning strikes are mostly focused on the following: the roof of the car and the metal ring part of the wheel. This is because when the lightning hits the car during high-speed driving, the current will quickly develop to the ground. In the case of moisture, Ray Current will reach the position of the axle through the surface of the car body. Since the wheel rubber is non-conductor, the lightning current will leave current scars on the metal part of the wheel. When the wheel is wet, lightning will pass through the wheel ground; while the wheel is dry or Convertible lightning can greatly damage the automotive electronics system and endanger personal safety.

For the personal protection in the car, avoid touching the metal parts in the car when a lightning strike occurs, and try not to use the electronic equipment in the car, such as GPS, car phone, CD, etc. It is also best to stop and wait for the lightning to stop by the roadside. To avoid causing problems with the car's starting coil or the car's electronic system.

Many car enthusiasts now like to install some antennas for cars, but these car antennas can easily become lightning-inducing objects during thunderstorms. Meteorologists suggest that in the thunderstorms, it is best to close these car antennas and do not let the car antenna become a siren.

When you are outdoors or traveling by car, if you run into thunderstorms, you can quickly enter the car to avoid lightning. Because the car shells are all metal bodies, in the event of lightning in your area of ​​activity, the car's metal shell can also eliminate the high voltage current caused by lightning, and the car is generally low, so the possibility of being directly hit by lightning small.
