Our deadly force policy prevents us from shooting at a vehicle in order to cause it to be inoperable. If the driver of the vehicle is the source of the threat, and dealy force is justified, than deadly force must be used against the driver, not the vehicle.

That seems really odd honestly. The driver may be the source of the threat, but at that moment he is using the vehicle as a deadly weapon. (smashing property, possibly hurting or killing other civilians, ect)
And it seems very silly that "deadly force", ie force that can cause death, cannot be used against an inanimate object that was never alive in the 1st place...!? Shooting driver OR vehice either one could, in theory cause an accident, but isn't that why you are trying to stop him in the first place?
Sorry, but some laws and policies make absolutely NO SENSE AT ALL to me.
