Can you shoot while driving?

I was playing around on my buddie's copy of the game, and every time I got in a car chase I died because I thought I was playing GTA. I asked him and he didn't know, though he is notorious for ignoring all tutorial text. I was able to get a targeting reticle up, which gave me hope, but no cigar for me. Is this a game mechanic, or did they leave it out for one reason or another?

No you can't, according to these sources:

Q) From T-Dawg6: How is driving in the game? I heard its a bit stiff. Also can you shoot while driving? & can you fly airplanes/helicopters?

A) You heard correct T-Dawg. Some of the cars are really sticky on the road, so you won’t be pulling off Ridge Racer-grade drifts or anything like that. I would have liked it to have been a little slicker, but you get used to it over time. You can’t shoot while driving either, and I suspect that’s to make you use hacks while driving to give cops the slip instead.

There is also a discussion at GameFAQS

No, as far as I know, you can not shoot while driving. In a tutorial text in the beginning of the game, it is explained that the advantage of a co-driver is that they can shoot, while the driver can not. You will also notice that enemies won't shoot either, unless they have a co-driver.

You can shoot while driving, its farther in the game once you hit 53.6% you automatically can drive and shoot, its more of a game mod/cheat. Also i heard that if you beat all driving tasks to 100% it will let you shoot out of car.
