• holding that \coverage should exist only for injuries resulting from use of an automobile for transportation purposes\
• concluding that a motorist who shot another motorist from his moving car “was using his car for motoring purposes” during the assault
• holding that the vehicle must be an \active accessory\ in causing the injury, a causation standard which involves \something less than proximate cause in the tort sense and something more than the vehicle being the mere situs of the injury\
• noting that the ear was used to keep up with plaintiff until the shooting
• concluding assailant used vehicle for “motoring purposes” because he “used his car not only to maneuver himself into a position to harm [victim] but also to maneuver [victim] into a position from which [victim] could be harmed”
