Do tires insulate my car from a fallen electrical wire?

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.

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.

If you are wearing crocs then you should go frick your mother in the face. If not wearing crocs then you should do the same thing because you suck and she made you.

You have to be swinging through the air.
As long as you spring through the air, then you're OK, but if you touch the ground, you'll explode.
I saw it in Tango and Cash.

Only if a metal part of the car is touching the live wire.

The carburetor is what protects you from electrical shock

Why do you think they call it a Flux Capacitor ?

You're lucky powerball numbers are:
12 26 9 2 18 20 10

it all depends on the Fetzer valve with some 3-in-1 oil and some gauze pads.

Electricity is a crutch just ask Uncle Fester

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.
