Buzzed by the static

Category: PersonalRory Primrose @ 03:31

Apart from the dash design, there is something else I find interesting about my new car. I occasionally get small static electricity shocks from the drivers door window when I get out of the car. I am assuming that this is because of the tinting on the window. I've never had electric shocks from plain glass before so I am guessing that glass doesn't conduct electricity, or at least not well enough to create an electric shock.

Anyone else experienced this before?

Only occassionally get zapped? I get zapped by cars even when I haven't been driving in them!

...and not just from the door either - I cop it on the legs if they happen to get close to the underside of the door, body if I'm near a panel, AND on the hands from the doors.

Count yourself lucky chum...and never stand out in the open near me on a windy day Laughing
