If it is metal roof then passengers are safe as lightning passes thrugh tyres nd reaches the ground!!one shouldnot touch any metal parts of cars !!!nd stop the car nd switch off the engine!!!
When the car is struck by lightning, the charge will flow directly to the ground via tyre if the car is of metal body whereas in non-metallic body the charge will create a problem for driver & even in the metal body the charge could travel through wires.

According to me, Lightning, as Benjamin Franklin proved is electricity. It is a static electrical discharge that has broken down the electrical resistance of air for many thousands of feet. Air is a very good resister and it takes a lot of energy to break it down to allow the flow of electrons to pass through it. In fact the voltage of lightning can be as much as 100,000,000 volts. Voltages this high can easily go through any substance know to man. That includes glass, rubber, wood, anything you can name it will go through. So forget about the tires protecting (or rubber soled shoes) you from lightning.
However, a car (a hard top, not a convertible) is indeed a reasonable safe shelter from lightning but is not the tires that make it safe. The charge of electricity that makes up the lightning bolt will go the easier route of through the metal which surrounds the people in the car rather than through the people. The car's body acts like a Faraday Cage (google it) and as such provides a reasonably save haven for the people inside.
It should make little difference whether you are touching the metal of the car (as long as you do not have a foot or some other body part touching the ground outside the car) or not because you become like the birds perching on the electric lines with the metal parts of the car all having the approximate same electrical potential ( but, I sure wouldn't want to test this theory.) The charge normally (due to the wet tires) goes to the ground over the outside of the tires. If the tires are dry, and that has happened, it often will blow up one or more, sometimes, all 4 tire(s) due the air in the tire being rapidly heated by the flow of electricity through them to the point they can’t handle the high pressure.
If Lightning Strikes On Any Automobile Vehicle Then Following Thing's Occurs
1. As We Know That Lightning Is One Type Of Electricity.
2. The Rating Of This Lightning Is Too High (Approx. 12000 V - 15000 V)
3. When This Lightning First Strikes On The Metal Body.Then, This Electricity First Flow's Through The Wiring Harness Of The Vehicle.
4. When This Electricity Flow's Through Wiring Harness 1st It Go's In The Battery Of The Vehicle.
5. As Lightning Voltage Is Too High But Obvious The Current Rating Is Also Too High.
6. As The Difference In The Electricity Rating Of Battery And Lightning. The Current Overflows.
7. As We Know That In The Electrical System Of Automobile Vehicle Firstly The Fuse Box Is Connected.
8. As Mentioned Earlier That The Rating Of Lightning Is Too High. This Makes The Fuse To Melt Down Due To Overflow Of Current.
9. Due To This The Electrical System Of The Vehicle Get's Damaged.
Remedies To Overcome This Problem :
In The Heavy Transportation Vehicle's Like Silo Tanker's, Heavy Haulage Truck's, Buses There Is A Chain Is Hanging On The Back Side Of The Chassis. This Make's The Current To Be Grounded & The Damage To Electrical System Can Be Prevented.
If In All automobile Vehicle's This Type Of Arrangement Is Done. So.One Can Prevented Through This Problem.
Keval Shah In Your Answer Tyre's Ground The Electricity. It Is Not The Appropriate Answer. Tyre Can Withstand The Voltage Of 17000 Volts Or Above Of Electricity.Generally The Voltages Of Lightning Is In Between 12000 V-15000 V. So, In This Range Tyre's Acts Like An Insulator (Iso-Butadiene Rubber). It Can Ground Above This Level But In Exceptional Cases.

Lighting would directly go to ground, due to tyres connected to road..

Lightning won't affect person sitting inside the car as it will act perfectly as Faraday's box....

Car will be blast....
Use indecater or use tourch for light ...!
If not possible do night holt at near place ...
If its occur in night

Car and it's occupants will not be affected as rubber of tyres will act as insulator and
not allow lightening and current to pass through car.
If the person is in contact with the metal body directly he will be affected by the lightning otherwise not.
