what they're doing is illegal, and they'll mostly end up arrested, but that isn't going to help you at the time. your best option is to not get stuck behind them in the first place. it seems like it would obviously be illegal to drive through protesters, but i think slowly driving through protesters would basically never result in you being charged with a crime, but you're obviously exposing yourself to that risk, especially if someone gets injured.
i'm not really sure if i'd have the balls to do it, but i think i'd be comfortable attempting a slow drive through. of course if someone dives under my tires i'm giving it up, but i think 99%+ people just push on the hood for a sec and then jump aside.
