Yes there are things that can happen to prevent being put in this situation. However I'm not going to beat the dead horse here (well maybe a little). It could happen no matter how safe you are. As for surrendering the gun, as I stated before, I guess it doesn't really make too much sense due to I would only surrender it if I felt I had no chance. But then I would really stand zero chance. I was just typing off what first came to my head (avoiding danger as much as possible) as I am not really in the situation but merely sitting a computer talking about the subject at hand. If I were really in the situation I would not be as calm and primal instinct would take over/training would be put into effect. I do stand by the letting the car go which I think everybody here can agree with.
