a motor-car lightning proof? An interesting problem for nervous people during this weather.
There is a fairly general iden that owing to the insulation pro- vided by the rubber tyres it is impossible for a motor car to be struck by lightning..
Sitting in the car during one of the worst storms of this sum- mer, this question was hotly de- bated by the occupants.

Those
Bicycles
It is always dangerous for the motorist to complain about the be- haviour of other road users, because the other users are frequently more expert in vituperation, and they make the undoubted point that the motorist is, to some extent, protected by his vehicle while they are not. But a few words may tactfully be said about the conduct of certain cyclists.
