Car battery can put out a lot more than 300 amps but 12 volts has trouble getting current through the skin and other tissue. For most people they start to feel sensation somewhere between 30 and 45 volts depending on their skin condition. Now if you insert some electrodes well under the skin, you can cause trouble with very low voltages. Medical electronic equipment is designed with this in mind. Heart pacers do their job with just a few volts.
