Q. Which of the following is the first precaution step to be taken if a thunder storm suddenly occurs while travelling in a car?
Answer: Lie flat in the car
Notes: During a thunderstorm, a car provides a relatively safe environment because it acts as a Faraday cage, directing the electric charge from a lightning strike around the exterior of the car and protecting the occupants inside. Staying inside the car and lying flat minimizes your exposure to potential hazards from windows or debris.
