Ahh okay, I see. Over here most music festivals are camping ones where you have to drive, mainly because they are in the middle of nowhere and mainly because you need your car to transport your tent etc. So as you drive through the gates you hop out, they pat you down, have a quick squiz at your car, and then you continue driving through the gates and find a spot to park your car and pitch your tent. It seems logical to check everyone's car.
For music festivals that aren't camping ones, no cars are checked, that would be silly. They just pat you down.
