  • You can listen to a hand held radio in a car. So EM radiation can get in and out. The tires isolate the body from a true ground. You're coming through the front door. philipnute com

  • @juniortore Yes you can, and it's not going through the tires because those are made of rubber, a bad conductor.

  • @jnod78 your comment is bullshit -.-

    RIP Lady Di!

  • cant you get zapped if you touch metal in the car or will it go straight to the ground
