Question

If your car gets struck by lightning can you get electrocuted?

Answer 1

First off, this has NOTHING to do with zoology.  But the answer is no. Rubber is an insulator and so electricity cannot flow freely from the bolt to the ground.  Its also HIGHLY unlikely that your car will be struck by lightning as chances are that there are much taller objects nearby that the lightning will more likely strike.

Answer 2

yes, the car is made of metal, the whole thing then retains the electricity, almost waiting for you to touch it, then when you do you become electrocuted, I guess if you left it for long enough then the power of the electrical current would dull, but not massively, and not in the timne the normal person would want to get out of the car by

Answer 3

"As long as you aren't in contact with the car body, you're protected from the electrical current. You may get some hearing damage from the thunderclap, or your eyes might get a retinal after-image that stays with you for hours,; but your body will be left relatively unscathed."  (quote from the below source)
