When i wear runners [trainers],i get a shock when i get out of the van. what is going on?

Answer 1

Common problem. Easy answer. Put a ground strap on. Most auto shops sell them.

Answer 2

Static electricity..........................

Run her finger over the side door panel before opening the door.

That should release the static that's built up from you sitting on the seats..........

Answer 3

Yes, static electricity!  That's why you should never use a cell phone while at a gas pump. That's also why you should always remember to touch your vehicle once you get out of your car at a gas station. That way, you won't cause any sparks which could result in a fire which could result in you injuring yourself. Ask any fire department!

Answer 4

This same thing happens to me and I absolutely hate it.

It is static  electricity and it hurts doesn't it !
