(KMOV.com) – It can be a terrifying situation when a driver is in their vehicle and is suddenly surrounded by protesters and it happened multiple times during protesting in Ferguson.

So what do you do if you find yourself in this situation? News 4’s Sharon Reed sat down with two security experts who shared their 60 years’ experience.

It’s important to remember to:

Remain calm. Getting excited tends to get others excited. Slow down. Don’t run anyone over where you will injure them. Stay in your vehicle. Keep the doors locked and windows rolled up. If you are inside your car, police can identify who are the victims and who are the aggressors.

Then, if I got clear of the mob, I would stop and wait until the survivors just about caught up with me again........ And then I would pull away just when got close. Then, I would stop again, till they just about caught up to me, then I would pull ahead a little more...........

Good advice.
Moving slowly enough to allow them to get out of the way places the responsibility for getting run over clearly on them. Could save you a lot of legal grief later.

Don’t run anyone over where you will injure them.

Instead, try to bounce them away with your hood and bumper. If any get stuck on the hood, get up to about 40mph and slam on the brakes.

I did mention the “washers” in post #139. But, yeah, I might slip a dollar bill through a cracked open window and see if maybe one of ‘em would clean my windshield.

I would play polka music at 110dB. That should drive them away. If you don’t have polka music, country and western might do the trick.

Gun it. You’re just waiting to have those idiots smash your side windows and pull you out and beat ya to death. Sitting duck to have your tires slashed too, then you can’t leave.

Consider a raging mob against a person they trap in a car.

Disparity of force. Fear for your life. Gun it and get the hell out of there.

The Reginald Denny approach doesn’t work. It gets you killed.

Libtards never want victims to fight back. Never.

Thanks for the tip. The sound system crossed my mind but I couldn’t come to a decision as to just what would be most appropriate music for the occasion. Maybe “Ride of the Valkyries”. That’s why I settled on the horn.
