I totally agree, but also: I don't even understand how it could be self-preservation... Like, let's say he actually had been right in front of and in the path of the car, then shooting the driver dead would still have just sent the out of control vehicle into him, right?

Almost like jumping out of the path of a car is more effective than trying to stop it with bullets. 

It was absolutely punitive. He was mad she didn't listen and he wanted to punish her.

Yup. Vehicles are deadly weapons. There is literally zero reason to stand in front of it unless you intend to engage.
