Is it safe to drive in thunderstorm weather?

It is not safe to drive in thunderstorm weather. In bad thunderstorm weather, you should try to avoid driving and pay attention to daily vehicle maintenance. When encountering stagnant water, try to bypass it in time, which can also effectively avoid serious traffic congestion. When the rainy season comes, it is necessary to check the relevant parts of the vehicle in advance, such as wipers, fog lights and skylights. If damage is found, we should repair it in time.

In addition, wax the car glass before going out. Some glass cleaners contain some wax, which can form a layer of wax film on the glass surface after use, and the wiper will sweep the water clean, which can effectively improve the safety of driving in rainy days.

I was caught in a thunderstorm while driving.

Never get out of the car to take shelter from the rain, because if lightning strikes the car, the current will be conducted to the ground through the body surface, but it is safe in the car (provided that all windows must be closed).

Don't drive when it thunders. You can find a parking lot or a safe place to park until the weather improves. In addition, the antenna of the radio has the function of lightning rod, which will absorb lightning and must be put away. Don't park your car under the tree in case of lightning.
