Do tires insulate my car from a fallen electrical wire?
Posted by Skillet on 6/11/15 at 8:16 am03
If a wire falls on your car the tires do not keep you from being shocked. The vehicle is the path to the ground, so while you remain in the vehicle, you are safe. As soon as you step out the vehicle, you become the path to the ground and you will be in immediate danger and possibly fried.
What if I'm wearing crocs?

It is a myth that the tires protect you – the metal of your car conducts electricity around you, as if you are a bird sitting on a power line.
Also only if you are driving this.

Depends on the voltage, but rubber is not a perfect insulator, and will quickly catch fire. Once the tires are gone it just the metal rims left.

You've got to be kidding me. I've been further even more decided to use even go need to do look more as anyone can. Can you really be far even as decided half as much to use go wish for that? My guess is that when one really been far even as decided once to use even go want, it is then that he has really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like. It's just common sense.
