Driving when lightning's around
jnoshea:
I completely agree with Peter on this one. Rubber tyres are no protection for a car from lightning. The CB antenna would probably be hit but that would only damge the CB and possible you if you were using the handset at the time. Perhaps the most dangerous thing to do is to get out and remove the antenna because for the time you're holding it you are really asking for trouble :D

Good point - I didn't think of that :shock: . I was stopped under some trees at the time so wasn't in a clear line of sight for the lightning but thinking about it, that probably wasn't a very good idea either :oops:
