“plowed into...”
You actually don’t have to “plow into” them.
Just take your foot off the gas, let the idle move you forward slowly; that vehicle is several thousand pounds of steel. It will not be easily stopped. They can stand in front of it only so long as it will push them backwards. You can add a little gas pedal to make them move as well, until you’re clear, then just drive on.
They’re COUNTING on you stopping. You stop, you’re in their zone (see Reggie Denny, 1992 LA Riots; he had an 18 wheeler, and he stopped, and took a cinder block to the head by gutterape savages).
If they start pounding your windows with the intent to break them, well then, what you do at that point is up to you.
Me, I wouldn’t stop. Ever.
That is a very good post.
Don’t ever stop. Keep coasting. Like you said, once you stop, those animals have you where they want you.
