If lightning strikes your car and you are on a mobile phone, will you get stuck?

Question

Supposedly if you are in a car and it gets struck by lightning you are safe because of the tires right? But if you are on a mobile phone can the lightning strike you through the car?

Answer 1

if your window is open and your holding the tele outside the window it would serve as a lightning rod!

Answer 2

You well be fine. you are safe from lightning in a car.

Answer 3

Probably not,  I'm saying probably because lightning seems to come up with a new trick every so often. The tires on a car have nothing to do with it,  the metal frame of a car becomes what they call a " Faraday cage", it passes through the metal  and around not through you.

Answer 4

As long as you are not touching the outside of your car, you won't get hurt. But your car will get wrecked, at least electrically. A few inches of rubber is not going to insulate a gigavolt of electricity.

If you are talking on a mobile phone you won't get electrocuted because of the phone.

Answer 5

I grew up believing that a car was a safe place to be in a lightening storm. I heard that the car is grounded because of the rubber tires. Recently I heard that a car is NOT A SAFE PLACE TO BE IN A LIGHTENING STORM.
