My future wife said ruh-ro, down shifted, floored it and aimed for the middle of the group. You wouldn't believe how fast they got out of the way. Mind you this was a little Suzuki Samurai and this was her first day driving stick.
Now you know why I married her. BTW, she's a Psych major and said she knew the would back down.

She passed a MAJOR acid test on that day!

Excellent!
If I'm ever in that sort of situation, I'll need to remember that mobs are made up of individuals who, on their own, would lose at the game of “chicken”
I'm also glad that ya’ll escaped that potentially life threatening situation - smart gal you have there :)
Happened to me in Seoul while they were having a lot of student protests. An American contractor had hit slightly injured a pedestrian. A mob formed and pulled him out of the car and beat him to a pulp. They also beat the two military police who tried to help.
The next week I was in Seoul and headed out of town. About 10 people jumped out in front of my pickup at a stop light. They started pounding on the truck and trying to get in.
I had the doors locked so they couldn’t get in without breaking a window and I kept the truck moving. The people in front knew they had better get out of the way or they were hamburger.
Depends on the size of the crowd though. Too many people can stop any vehicle.
