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.

A vehicle operates as a Faraday cage for lightening or other forms of electricity.

The rubber on the road is just an unnecessary safety bonus.
