I’ve driven over live wires before with no effect. (not on purpose. It was minutes after the wire fell and I didn’t see it until after)
But this one looks like it may have been an exposed wire the may have snagged the bottom of the car.
I would guess that had it just been rubber tires making contact, it would be OK.
I agree. Unless he actually stopped on wire it should have not done anything.
The rubber on the road is just an unnecessary safety bonus.
