    No, they are small and, from the front, almost completely covered. If you for some reason have to stop a car charging at you and you don’t have a high enough caliber rifle to kill the engine then the driver is your only real option. The better options are to not get in front of the car in the first place or to move expeditiously out of the car’s path. Even if you get the diver to stop accelerating that doesn’t stop the car, it’s momentum will continue to carry it towards you so shooting the driver isn’t a way to save yourself but it is your best chance of stopping the car.
