I could listen to this for hours..
Well, that was irritating. The video was labelled as a question and deliberately hid the answer. That's misleading and therefore irritating.
The answer, of course, is yes. A car really is a safe place, even with a direct strike. There's a risk of crashing the car due to the startling surprise of it and there's a risk of losing control due to failure of electrical components (although in that case you should just coast to a stop in a straight line). Electricity always follows the path of least resistance and that will not be through the interior of the car unless you have created a highly conductive route through the interior of the car by sticking a metal pole out of the sunroof or something like that.
Hmm...there might be a noise risk. I think the thunder would be very loud indeed that close to a lightning strike.
Eh...I've just seen advice that you shouldn't use a mobile phone inside a car during a thunderstorm because you could get electrocuted through the phone. Am I failing to understand how electricity can be transmitted or is that advice rubbish?
That's absolutely brilliant. Her face when the swinging crate hits the truck
Edit: The truck hits the drone at 0:51, LOL

Think i prefer the GTR here
that is just bonkersSo fast it's unreal!!!
I particularly liked the commentator's oft-repeated comments about using all the space. All the space? There's hardly any space! A narrow track and a couple of feet at the sides. At that speed, you've got milliseconds worth of space before you hit something.
