Default Re: Mounted infantry, overruns, and ramming

From my reading, in both situations it's hard luck for the infantry as the movement rules would take priority over the overrun rules.

You could justify basic self-preservation as an in-universe explanation for why your men could dismount despite mounting in the same turn, but you would still come back it being a way to fudge the rules to allow your troops to almost fly around the map.

If we assume that the in-universe reason they cannot dismount in the turn they mount is because they're securing themselves on the vehicle, then the in-universe explanation for why they cannot bail is because they've only just secured themselves when they notice the driver is ramming for the greater good. Too late to bail. SPLAT.
