A reasonable person could assume that the owner of the car was in imminent peril of serious injury or death--all the other factors aside. I think that is the only level the situation needs to rise to in order to make this a justified shoot.
All the other peripheral risks and what ifs are still factors to consider--but in terms of the actual decision to take the shot at the driver not factors in whether the decision was justified or not IMO.

Once again a discussion on this subject has deteriorated into bickering about what one wants to do or should do -- rather than what would be wise under the circumstances.
