Question about car motion sickness and lighting conducting.....?

Hiya,

My boyfriend thinks that the metal roads that hung from cars and dragged on the road in the 80s/90s in the UK were lightening conductors. I thought that they were motion sickness grounding devices.

Who is correct or are we both right? I have searched on the internet and there isn't anything conclusive apart from a forum that confirmed I was correct....

Thanks to everyone for answering :-)
