#142164 - Car tyres conduct Responding to: ???'s previous message |
Cars are not isolated from the ground as the tyres are moderately conductive! This is important as it prevents a static charge from building up and sparking to a fuel hose at a petrol station. Manufacturers don't fit dangly straps because they don't do anything. |
