Hi everyone.....I have a Honda accord....when I get out it gives a pretty good shock. I've had cars before that would, and I've had some that wouldnt....I was wondering if some car guru could tell me why not all do.....and if there is a way to prevent shocks from my accord.....it's a pretty good zap...moreso than my others.

Well, certainly want to discharge that static electricity before and not during a refueling of your Honda (or any car you're driving)... enough folks have torched their cars unintentionally..... here's a link on steps to prevent the static shock .... www.wikihow.com/Get-out-of-a-Car-Without-Getting-Shocked-by-Static-ElectricityAnd a little reading on electrostatic shocks and how to avoid them ...... www.electrostatics.net/articles/static_shocks.htm .......Not just the car involved, but a formula involving cars, seat covering materials, clothing you're wearing, weather, and more......Could just drive around with no clothes on but that is generally frowned on by your passengers and the rest of the driving public, not to mention a little chilly during these winter days......   Discharging the static electricity from yourself is similarly necessary before tinkering around with the insides of your computer so components don't get fried.... a final quick read covers what is happening and why in many different circumstances besides around your car, no matter what brand of car you drive .... www.explainthatstuff.com/how-static-electricity-works.html |

Hold the outside (metal part) of the door with your hand before you touch the ground with your feet. Problem solved.

When I was googling it it said that was one way....I've been getting out then touching the door to shut it. Seems if I touch it before I get out that would solve the problem....they also have ground strips to touch the ground and ground it....think I'd rather go the other way than one of those. |
