With our archives now 3,500+ articles deep, we\u2019ve decided to republish a classic piece each Sunday to help our newer readers discover some of the best, evergreen gems from the past. This article was originally published in October 2018.<\/i><\/p>\n

You\u2019re cruising down a narrow road when you see two cars parked across it, blocking your path. It seems to be some kind of checkpoint or barricade. What should you do?<\/p>\n

If it\u2019s an official police or military checkpoint, you better stop. Despite what you see in movies, blowing through a police blockade is not a sound strategy: you can kill an officer, get shot yourself, and even if you get through, the authorities will be after you like white on rice, inevitably nabbing you in the high-speed chase that follows (if you don\u2019t end it yourself by crashing).<\/p>\n

But what if the blockade isn\u2019t an official one? You\u2019re in a war-torn foreign land and are about to be stopped by insurgents, or it\u2019s a trap set up by carjackers, or you\u2019re living in a Mad Max-esque dystopian future where some baby-eating cannibals see your car as a can full of tasty sardines? Well, then it might be worth ramming through the obstructing vehicles and continuing on your way.<\/p>\n

Ramming a vehicular barricade is very dangerous, and should only be employed as a last resort — when there\u2019s no other means of escape or alternative routes of navigation, and when breaching and stopping carry about equal chances of death. In such a situation, here\u2019s how to most effectively carry out this defensive driving<\/a> maneuver.  <\/p>\n

Picking an Ideal Ramming Vehicle<\/h2>\n

When it comes to the best kind of car for ramming through a blockade, not all vehicles are created equal. You want to think both about its frame type and its airbags.<\/p>\n

Vehicle frame.<\/strong> Vehicles are basically built with two types of frames: body-on-frame and unibody.<\/p>\n

With the body-on-frame build, the vehicle starts as a separate frame to which the body is attached. With a unibody car, the frame and body are integrated together. A body-on-frame chassis is made with heavier metals, while a unibody is made with lighter weight alloys.<\/p>\n

\"Car's

In a unibody car (top), the frame and body are all one structure; in a body-on-frame vehicle (bottom), the body goes on top of a separate frame.<\/p><\/div>\n

A unibody vehicle is statistically safer<\/a> than the body-on-frame type because in the event of an accident, the stresses are evenly distributed throughout the vehicle, which is actually designed to crumple, even in a minor crash, in way that redirects the forces away from the passenger cabin.<\/p>\n

But the reason they\u2019re safer in a normal accident scenario also makes them less effective in a ramming situation. The key to an effective ramming is to hit a hard part of your car against a hard part of the obstructing car; this works better than a hard part of one hitting a soft part — like a crumple zone — of the other. You want the energy from the contact to move\/bounce the obstructing car out of the way, rather than being absorbed.<\/p>\n

A body-on-frame vehicle provides this desirable rigidity because the chassis is made with high-strength steel frame rails that run the entire length of the vehicle. Rather than being distributed throughout the body, contact forces will be concentrated in the frame, making for better bumping.<\/p>\n

Almost all vehicles these days are made with unibody frames except trucks and a few heavy-duty SUVs. While a unibody car is capable of ramming, a body-on-frame truck will have tactical advantages in this (and in off-road capabilities as well).<\/p>\n

Airbags.<\/strong> You should also keep airbags in mind in a ramming situation. Below we\u2019ll talk about how to minimize the chance of the airbag being deployed, but it can certainly still happen when you\u2019re hitting another vehicle. Getting smacked in the face with an airbag when you\u2019re trying to make an already dangerous maneuver is obviously highly undesirable; it would not only be a painful, view-obscuring distraction, but the release of an airbag can also trigger the automatic shutoff of your fuel pump.<\/p>\n

For tactical purposes, you might choose a vehicle that\u2019s too old to have an airbag, or deactivate the airbag (something you\u2019d have to do yourself, as you\u2019re required to request authorization from the National Highway Traffic Safety Association to have a mechanic install an on\/off switch for you).   <\/p>\n

Getting Ready to Ram<\/h2>\n

\"Poster<\/p>\n

Remember, ramming through a vehicular blockade is a maneuver of last resort. As you approach a checkpoint\/roadblock, assess whether or not there\u2019s an alternative way to avoid it. Can you go around it? Throw the car in reverse and back away?<\/p>\n

If there\u2019s no other way through, and death awaits if you stop, then it\u2019s time to ram the car(s) blocking your path.<\/p>\n

Line up so that the frame rail of your vehicle will hit the wheel axle of the obstructing vehicle. <\/strong>Remember that you\u2019re going to aim to hit a hard part of your vehicle, to a hard part of the other car. The best points of contact are the frame rail of your vehicle, and the wheel axle of the other.<\/p>\n

The frame rail runs roughly parallel to your headlights; as that\u2019s hard to see when you\u2019re driving, use your outside leg (or that of your passenger if you\u2019re hitting with the other side of the vehicle) as a reference. Even in a unibody car, this will still be the strongest spot to use; while it doesn\u2019t have frame rails that run the whole length of the vehicle, there is a sub-frame in the front and the rear.<\/p>\n

Aim for the rear wheel of the obstructing vehicle if possible.<\/strong> The trunk end of the car is lighter and easier to move than the engine-heavy front end.<\/p>\n

If there are two cars, aim for the wheel axle of one of them.<\/strong> A blockade often exists of two cars parked end-to-end. In this case, aim to drive between them, hitting the wheel axle of one of them.<\/p>\n

Drive at around 15-20 mph.<\/strong> Approaching slowly will make it appear you intend to stop at the checkpoint, and it\u2019s also the ideal ramming speed. You need less speed and force to move a car than you\u2019d think. By applying this \u201cminimum effective dose,\u201d you 1) minimize the damage to your own car (preserving its integrity will be key in making your getaway), and 2) minimize the chance of the airbag deploying.<\/p>\n

If you have airbags in the car, slow down to 15 mph. Airbags are triggered from rapid deceleration, and the kind of impact\/body damage which occurs when you hit another car going at least 16-28 mph. Going slow will hopefully prevent the airbag from deploying, as will continuing to accelerate (see below).<\/p>\n

If you have to stop completely before the blockade, leave a car\u2019s length between you and the obstructing vehicle.<\/strong> A car\u2019s length to a car and a half\u2019s length will give you sufficient distance to get up to speed before you hit the obstructing vehicle.<\/p>\n

Put your car in a low gear, so you\u2019ll have plenty of torque.<\/p>\n

Look ahead.<\/strong> Don\u2019t stare at the target of impact, but instead look ahead to see where there\u2019s drivable terrain past the blockade and figure out where you\u2019ll maneuver next. Maintain situational awareness<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Keep accelerating through the obstructing vehicle.<\/strong> Human nature will prompt you to take your foot off the accelerator or to pump the brakes as you hit the obstructing car. Do neither. Keep on accelerating as you hit the car and break on through.<\/p>\n

Congratulations, you just rammed through a vehicular blockade. The baby-eaters will go hungry another day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
