(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.

Seriously folks. How far will you get driving through a crowd of 20,000

Exactly right, run over enough people and eventually your car/truck will stall, maybe some small satisfaction in taking a dozen or so with you as you die.

Lock the F-350 in 4 wheel drive, gun it. Hit reverse, lather, rinse, repeat

Proper technique:

Automatics: Turn steering wheel all the way to one side, place left foot on brake pedal, and give the gas 1/2 pedal, then release the brake pedal as you give it full gas. It three seconds there will be no one near you as you go round and round flinging them to the periphery. Aim to the exit and give it gas.

Sticks: Slight variation, turn wheel all the way, place in first gear, drop the clutch and floor the gas. The rest is the same.

Once safe, get out of the car and report it car jacked and stolen, asap.

Your plan makes a lot more sense than plowing forward and beaching your vehicle on a small mound of miscreants

I always wondered why people slowed down at the Florence and Normandy intersection.

They didn't hear my parents' advice of "Remember, a car is also a deadly weapon."

Although it was preferable to get out of town at the first signs of rioting which they actually did in 1965 at the start of the Watts Riots.

Note, to be used only in extreme fear of life situations, otherwise you may be held accountable for your actions.

Dunno if I agree with your police work there Bosco. I’m pretty sure the Sterling Hall bombing at the University of Wisconsin was in August 1970. And Kent State was what, April?

Drive. Fast to slow. Avoid. Drive. Sometimes, shooting helps. Always carry money.

Of course

Goes without saying

The maneuver makes much more sense but nothing is guaranteed

police can identify who are the victims and who are the aggressors.

We can help. Leave tire tracks, broken glass or paint residue on the aggressors. This will assist the CSI unit immensely. The victims are the ones safe inside the steel cocoon.

Hence the getting out and reporting it jacked and stolen part. :-)

I would go along with most of the wonderful ideas posted. But, out of an abundance of caution, I would also try laying on the horn as hard as I could, throughout most of the maneuvers. And I think activating the washers, front and rear, might tend to add even more drama. If the opportunity presented itself, I might also try to catch some fingers in my power windows.
