I don't remember what the name for this is, but it is the process by which the electrons pass through the frame of the car. The nature of the electrons is to pass over the outermost surface of the metal it strikes. Inside the cage of your vehicle frame, you are safe due to this. If you had your hand wrapped around a frame component, you would get zapped. They do a demonstration of this at the museum of science in Boston. Inside the cage, the guy is safe as it gets drilled by lightning. Even if he touches the inner portion of the metal, he is safe.
