[br]As Morning Sunshine says, rapid/fast thinking and acting in all situations is what we can execute. 

were you already throwing yourself low and towards the passenger seat as soon as you saw those police cars draw sidearms ?

I remember n
ot having a clue who or what the cops could be aiming at because pimped out gangbanger lowriders are not unusual and he wasn't driving erratically, or so I reflexively wanted to look over my shoulder to figure out who the bad guy was.  I could clearly see flailing hands fitting more visible as the window was coming down,and I guess I instantly realized that the driver wasn't holding a weapon.  If he had pointed a weapon my instinct was to travel out the passenger door but I also had the sense that I didn't want to be outside of my vehicle if shooting started and everyone gunned their engines to get the hell out of dodge.

At least when I was there, the cops didn't seem to pay any attention to the rest of us.  They had a dirt backstop beyond the lowrider so they could maintain opened up without risk to bystanders, and but the rest of us stuck in our cars would maintain been in the line of fire if the guy had been shooting out the window instead of flailing his hands.

I like to make sure I never allow less than half a car length in front of me and try to stay in lanes where I can exit.  It helps to maintain a ample heavy vehicle which can push otherx out of the way if needed. But even this may not be helpful in situation described.

I don't know what
the cops would execute if you plowed through their vehicles trying to get absent from the crossfire.



I found a small local news blurb saying that car was pulled over related to a "shots fired" incident at a sushi position 10 miles absent on the other close of the canyon.  No news on whether that driver was actually involved or arrested.
