If you are under fire from a sniper who is on the roof of a building, and you are using a vehicle as cover, the MOST effective way of protecting yourself is to:
A) break out one of the side windows, crawl into the vehicle, and lie prone across the front seat. B) position yourself next to the front wheel so that the engine block and tire can both protect you. C) crawl under the vehicle, between the tires, but avoid the area of the vehicle near the gas tank. D) crouch down between the wheels of the vehicle in order to make yourself as small a target as possible.
