Cars do very strange things when struck by lightning
It was my second time, first was in the open hanging off a nylon rope. Not a happy experience.
The car was a late 80's BMW 735. M62 Manchester, main strike hit a gantry which showered bits of glass on to the road, secondary was on my car.
The cruise control kept going, fortunate for it helped me escape the pile-up behind, and when I eventually stopped 3 miles later it was because random lights were blinking on and off on the instrument panel but mostly the rear windows were going up and down by themselves!
Most alarming though was the blackened bonnet. However what I thought were scorch marks were not, it was a film of plastic-like substance that just wiped off, apparently a condensation of evaporated tarmac.
I drove another 200 miles, eventually the lights stopped blinking and the windows stopped going up and down, sadly though they did this by staying down.
Typically BMW had a check list for lightning and high energy strikes.
Oh, and it's not the rubber tyres that insulate you, Even a faraday cage has to go to earth and it's the steel bracing in the tyres that provide that function. Otherwise they would probably just melt.
