ABSTRACT:
A driver or passenger in a vehicle will often experience an electrostatic shock on exiting the vehicle. The invention solves this problem in a simple but effective manner by providing an appropriate discharge path. The finger recess in the door handle is lined with a conductive material which is connected to the metallic structure of the door, or otherwise to the vehicle body. This measure prevents the accumulation of an electric potential between the driver or passenger and the vehicle so that no discharge occurs.
