If you know he is going to shoot and cannot leave the car I hope the victim will be firing when the victim sees the weapon and not after the aggressor fires. If the aggressive driver gets out and had no weapon then the victim gave up a very good place to avoid injury. There was an report of a man who came to the defense of a driver that was being attacked in his car by a large number of people. Neither was armed and the one outside the car was beaten to death while the original victim was fine. And, even if the person had a weapon and fires doesn't mean they are going to be able to hit a person inside the car. Leave the car if necessary but use the advantage of the options available from driving off or over the guy and to conceal the draw. That is opinion and each of us must decide what we will do in any given situation. Since my family is with me much of the time I cannot run away if trapped between cars and unable to drive away. I try to never be each time I drive.

First, never get out of the car. That is a loss of potential protection and a way to get away. Getting out also tells the potential aggressor you want to fight even if you don't. The best thing is to not get close enough to be trapped. I changed how I drive when carjacking became popular. I leave enough distance to get out even if I have to plow between two cars to do so or go over a curb. Also, control your anger and fear so you do not do anything that will get you in trouble.
