This is very likely a sentence long enough for actual prison time.
Nah. If it’s a first time offense, it’s jail time. 30-60 days max. Prison is anything over a year.

Remember, if wires come down, don't run, keep your feet together and shuffle. If your legs are far enough apart, you can become a circuit
-at least that's what I've always been taught.

Stop, drop and roll.. wait, that’s not rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
cmc103
But…”run” literally means only 1 foot/ground contact at a time. So by this logic, it seems like you should ABSOLUTELY run, immediately.

isolator and coolant. We call it oil.
usbcd36
Probably not, given how fast it caught fire. Usually, it's just mineral oil in transformers outside on poles.

Can the electricians shout us out how much danger the cars in opposing traffic are in when it starts arcing

Very much depends on the voltage at the primary side of the transformer.

Minimal electrical shock potential inside an insulated faraday cage, but the extreme heat will compromise the protection of the car. /1
The heat and fire are more likely to kill you, but the electrical utility protection scheme likely has reclosing. Which means that arc /2
will likely occur severe more times at different intervals until the protection locks out. 3/

BennyT1000
Should only happen once. Should.
dylankerr21
Yes. Danger = yes.
TheWeebleWobler
Unless the car is in fire, stay in car. If you can back up, back up. Stay in car until you have cleared the area of sparky bits.
Sm9yCg
The cars and everyone inside a car are pretty safe (look up Faradey's cage). As long as no one leaves their car out of fear
That's what i thought. Basically a Faraday cage on rubber wheels, so pretty safe.
Ulthirm
hmm well flash arcs are terrifying and will melt the plastic and metal. The faraday cage might protect the inhabitants for a period of time
but unless the source dies soon, it'll eventually arc inside too. High capacitance only goes so far.
Krazzok
3.6 volts? Not good, not terrible.
unluckyandbored
Very yes.
TheOneAndOnlyButtStabber
If you don't touch it you will be fine. If you're close enough to inhale vaporized copper you will likely die a miserable death

If ever ina. Situation like that, don't run, keep your feet close together and shuffle. Big steps, like running, can make you a circuit.
CanadianEngineer
Faraday cage? Don't you just mean a conduit to ground? Do Faraday cages also have to be grounded? SO MANY QUESTIONS
you are aware that cars don't touch the ground, their rubber wheel does but none of the metal parts touches the road?
Northstar219
Think about when you hold charged cables close but not touching and SEE the arc because the current can still connect. Same thing but bigger
ThatGuyWhosFunAtParties
The car itself acts as ground. It has enough capacitance. Do *NOT* touch the outside after it has been struck, it is most likely charged.
TheFutureIsDead
If you have to get out. Jump out of car without touching car. Shuffle feet on ground for 10ft. Touch ground & car. You DEAD

So this can be entirely misleading to the original comment and I fear your upvoting is likely to get a person killed. So your video (1/?)
examples are kind of silly because 1) 99.9% of drivers aren't driving a mining dump truck with a massive tire with massive air capacity(2/?)
and 2) in your 'training' example it even shows clearly an implied safety action of staying inside the vehicle. The reality of it is (3/?)
1. No one is safe. The electricity eventually will light the car on fire. You can get out, but you can't simply step out and walk...
DaDemian
..into Mordor
2. away, or you'll make a circuit and go boom. You have to bunny hop like a moron to get away
fugue042
Or the shame shuffle. This guy is right- while the *initial* arc won't get ya if in another car, the continuous current *will.*
AbsolutelyDramaticNutjob
This. Keep your feet together. The closer they are, the less voltage difference between them, so the less that will travel into you.
honda4wssi9
BIG but, though. If the power line is in contact with the car and you're touching or close enough to metal, you're the circuit.
