That’s what I was thinking. This is the super high behavior I remember from the crack days.

I’m not sure how you shoot someone who is rear ending your car while you are driving unless you’re Steve Martin in L.A. Story. The guy did the best he could and he and his kid survived. I hope the perp goes away for years and years.

Indeed. And furthermore, you also don’t know if the crazy SOB chasing you is also armed, so even if the victim was armed, fleeing is really the best strategy for survival.

Gun play is sort of a a last resort in my book, e.g., the crazy guy manages to run my car off the road and then keeps coming, either with his car or on foot, or chases me when I get out of the car trying to seek safety. THEN it’s REALLY handy to be armed and time to end the chase.

Might I suggest further study, then?

Personally, I would have handed my phone to my Daughter with 911 already called, slammed on the brakes, and opened fire.
I carry 39 rounds of .45+P with my XDm on me all the time.
