If there is a strong earthquake would you be safer in a car?

Question

From what I've read/heard/seen they say if there is a extremely powerful earthquake and you duck and cover the quake will bash your face in. Would being in a car be safer as the car has suspension and the lot? Just a quick question from a Californian.

Answer 1

not necessarily car it self may go miles down in the whole of earth. you are safe in the open or near two walls.perpendicular to each other.

Answer 2

Safer as long as not driving or not parking near electric polls,  tall buildings.
