:shock:
I would sh*t my pants…
I’m surprised the car is still running after the strike
Hmm, kinda sketchy.
How many people drive on a daily basis with a camera recording?
The guy didn’t even say “holy Shit” or whatever.
Not saying I have concluded this, just wondering.
yea he doesnt even swerve/stop or slow down ?
and im pretty sure the bolt of lighting would react almost like an EMP and fry all the electrial devices

You must have never seen that episode of top gear when they fry a focus or someshit with like a kajillion volts and it still starts after.
Ya I beleve there have been many reports of car being hit by lightning and they are fine, Real TV showed a van bring hit and the think just kept on going
They did this on Myth Busters, too.
it was a new golf. started and drove fine after.
newer cars are designed to act like a faraday cage when/if they get hit by lightning…
faraday cage, google it…
edit: yeah, it was the new Golf that they tested on Top Gear.
Oh wait it was top gear not myth busters.
myth busters they did some other lightning tests… they did a gelatin head filled with piercings.
Yeah, I have heard of cars can running after they have been hit.
I was just questioning the other facts. ie: the lack or reaction and the convenient presence of the camera.
Maybe they were storm chasers and were used to it…?
wanna share the outcome of that one? i wanna know if i’m gonna get zapped in the eye or not. :noes:
and lith, with the faraday cage, is it that there is no EM field within the “cage” since the charge is distributed along an equipotential surface, and due to symmetry (generally) there are no field lines within the cage (cancellation)? i don’t feel like looking it up. 
Im with Theo on this one… If I got struck by lighting I would immediately like slam on my brakes out of shock or react somehow, this guy did nothing.

that’s correct man 
That’s basically why the people in the car wouldn’t be affected at all…
I just didn’t feel like expaing it… lol
it’s been a while since I even heard all of those terms… heheh

yea, whatever. you saw that nerd shit coming, don’t lie.
What about all those tall trees and light poles he’s driving under … wouldn’t those be more probable points for a lightning strike especially since cars aren’t well grounded, if at all.
