are you talking about the formula one car vs the rugby team.

A formula 1 car weighs 1500lbs, a truck weighs 5000lbs. The added weight adds in the traction

That was a brabas merc. Not a formula one car. Probably weighs more than an f150

This made my day. Running through them is the right thing to do. They nearly beat that trucker to death during the LA riots and he should have done the same

I could run them over and never break 5 mph lol.

I have never encountered protesters on the road, but I never understand why people don't drive through them. Lock the doors and slowly move forward. They are no match for the car.

Just watched, a bit different than the scenario in question. 10 guys vs the front of an f150 is no match

IF you could electrify your car, then creep through them.

If a group of protesters are blocking my street or a highway, what are my rights as a driver in a vehicle?

Not much. Protesters generally have the right of way. The answer to your question lies purely with intent. You can't intentionally run anyone over.

So, I'm supposed to sit there and wait for non-working losers to continue blocking the right of way or nudge them out of the way and risk damage to my vehicle and my (or anyone else in my vehicle) safety and injuring some douche protester?

This is why Donald Trump is president. These protests and these endless rants by celebrities telling the everyday person how to feel and think are why we are in this right now.

correct. You can be charged with vehicular assault if you hit them, technically.

I don't think he can do much about this law.
