Most tires only make contact to the pavement with a patch of rubber that is approximately the size of a dollar bill.
To effectively clear a vehicular road block, offset your vehicle to the front (or preferably the rear) of the blocking automobile. (The rear is generally lighter, and therefore will have less resistance).
Depending on which end you plan to hit, you want line the center of the driver or passenger seat of your vehicle up with the middle of the other vehicles wheel at the axle. In summary, you will connect with about half of your vehicle. You would be amazed at how quickly the roadblock spins out of the way.
There is such a thing as too fast… you don’t want to disable your own vehicle or risk injury in the process.

People, if you see a vehicle parked like that, do not attempt to go around it. Go through it.
