UPDATE: With this game becoming more broken each update, this achievement is very hard to pull off with the ATVs in normal gameplay. Your best bet is to find a friend in Shadow War and boost the achievement.
This of course has to be done in some form of PVP in the game because you have to roadkill 25 human players for this achievement. Either playing Capture in competitive matchmaking or queuing up for for a Shadow War needs to be done because they are the only modes with vehicles.
Personally I found Shadow War the fastest way to acquire this achievement. Spawn at a point that's close to an enemy team capture point. Press UP on the D-pad (just in case, you don't know for some reason) and drive around until you flatten 25 other players. I got about 3-5 road kills per match sometimes because Shadow War seems to end fairly quick. Just keep at it and capture points along the way for another achievement (50 captures).
Hitting someone at full speed while boosting should be enough to kill someone, but there have been several times I got most but not all of an enemies health down. It's safe to drive around the corner before turning around and going for another ram because you are pretty exposed while on the Quad and you can be killed pretty quickly. Try for surprise kills such as boosting into someone running toward a capture point or giving a sniper a 4-wheeled rectal exam (wouldn't you normally be the one with the scope? /rimshot).
It will take several matches (unless you are really good or lucky) to get the 25 kills, but the achievement does not seem to take very long at all and can be a good bit of fun flying through a base and getting a double splatter!
There is another vehicle in matchmaking called the Cerberus. It spawns at your base in Capture and Hold matches and in Shadow War. It is a large 3-seater truck and it's size makes good people pancakes if you can catch it when it spawns. There are not many of them during matches so grab it as soon as everything starts to get your hands on it. (Thanks to Felix Pie for pointing that out)

I'm going to give a downvote simply because the information in this solution is now outdated to the point of being wrong. With the big buff to shields, the addition of armor plates, and the buff to hit points and their rate of recovery that came with the Arktech Revolution DLC (and the nerf to vehicle damage that happened somewhere along the way) it is now 100% impossible to roadkill someone who is not cooperating with you.
To get a roadkill these days, you absolutely have to boost it. The targets need to have no shield equipped, and someone else on the roadkiller's team has to whittle down their health to about 15% with a BMG before the guy in the vehicle can successfully roadkill them. If the target's health is 20% or greater, they will survive the hit and regenerate enough health to withstand another hit by the time the driver backs up and boosts forward to attempt the roadkill again.
Freight Yard, being an enclosed PvP map, means that the randoms will find you. The moment they do, they will keep coming back over and over again because there is not a try-hard on the planet who will not return for a load of easy kills on unshielded enemies standing perfectly still. Shadow War is the best way to get the roadkills done by a long shot because you can go hide far away from the control points and be left alone. Over 5 Freight Yard matches, my group got a total of 15 roadkills done for everybody between bouts with randoms, but got all the roadkills done for everybody in 1.5 hours in Shadow War hiding somewhere 300+ meters from the nearest control point.

Great guide. Thats exactly what I did. I would add that the bigger vehicles(like the one with the turret) are more durable and do more damage and they are twice as wide. I found it easier to get kill with them.

Dude! Where's My Cerberus? (DLC-5 UPDATE!!!)
DLC-5 has changed Defiance completely and unfortunately that applied to MP as well. Everyone's shields got a big boost in strength and they also got armor on top of that. This means that is is hard as hell to kill someone by ramming them with a vehicle. There are some things you can do to make it easier:
- Unlock and fully upgrade the "Hell of Wheels" perk.
- Max out vehicle skill.
- Use the Cerberus.
- Cerberus is in Shadow War or Freight Yard (Easy to find in Freight Yard)
One of the downsides to the Cerberus is that it takes damage every time you hit someone with it. This damage can be fixed by exiting the vehicle and then quickly re-entering it.
Now, even having done all of this, it is still going to be REALLY hard to kill people with their souped up perks and gear. This means that you are going to have to boost this with friends. Boosting this game is hit and miss because you'll never be guaranteed to get a game lobby to yourself. With the game going free-to-play mid July 2014 I would imagine it is only going to get harder.
If you do mange to get into a decent boosting situation. You are going to want to knock the other players armor and shields off before you run them over. This will almost guarantee a kill when you hit them while boosting the engine. Bio weapons knock off armor pretty fast if you want to use those.
How do we get into the same match if we aren't in a group? Glad you asked.
To get into the same match you will both have to be on the same sever. Just "friend" the other player and then "go to" them in the menu. Once you do that you will be on the same server. Then you can both search for Freight Yard and end up in the same game.

The Hell on Wheels perk made a huge difference. I was lucky to get 2-3 a match without it. With it I was getting 5-7 per match and very quickly earned this cheevo. Thanks for pointing out the obvious that I overlooked. +1

Its so hard to even get into Freight Yard matches to use Cerberus. But when you do get in, this vehicle definitely makes it alot easier.

UNOBTAINABLE DUE TO SERVER CLOSURE
Needs to be done in Player versus Player (PvP). To run over players, you’ll need vehicles. Vehicles can be found in the Freight Yard map and in Shadow War. You can either use the Cerberus (heavy armored vehicle) or a Hannibal (quad) to run over people. While the Cerberus seems the better choice, if you start a Shadow War, you can spawn a Hannibal wherever you are. And since you're out in the open, it shouldn't be too difficult to run over people. Especially when they're at a capture point. Just make sure to hit them full on at full speed (use your boost,
).
To increase the durability of your vehicle and to increase the collision damage, you can equip the “Hell on Wheels” perk (2nd on the right of the Decoy power).
To start a PvP match, press
and go to matchmaking. Select Competitive Maps/Shadow War and choose a map or quick match. Alternatively, you can press 
, hold 
, go to matchmaking and use 
to open the Competitive/Shadow War tab. There’s no lobby system, you’ll queue up instead and can keep playing the game.

This is unlocked by running over 25 players in Shadow War. Just look for enemies running around and make sure to hold down boost when you run into them. If they don't die, quickly turn around and run them over again.
A nice little tactic is to try and get a few bullets into them beforehand. Then quickly press 
, jump into/on your vehicle and run them over. Hopefully this will eliminate the process of having to turn around if they didn't die the first time.

This trophy is done in the Capture & Hold (FreightYard map) or Shadow war modes, since there are large maps and the ability to move on vehicles is given.
You need to do 25 "Road Kills". You are unlikely to kill a player with one hit if he has a full supply of health and his shields are not knocked down. I advise you to purchase the “Wrecking ball” skill in the Ego-improvement section (EGO Grid) and pump it up to the maximum, this will give +45% damage to the enemy’s vehicle, and you can knock him down when he is also on the vehicle from the 1st hit.

trophy for luck -) in general, everything is described correctly except for the skill - you need the skill "Hell on Wheels" (and the skill "Wrecking Ball" increases damage against vehicles)

I liked the FreightYard map. There is a car (Jeep) Cerberus....
It's easy to push people around. I get 2-3 kills with the machine in one game (it’s not hard to count how many games you need to play on this map). this jeep crushes people, removing a lot of armor and a little bit of health and, most importantly, knocks the enemy down, all you have to do is roll back a couple of meters and run into the lying dude again, bam and kill with the car....
The secret is simple: we always sleep at the very beginning, if the jeep is busy, then we combine our game with a trophy for 50 goals, this map is also suitable for camper outings. You can also combine it with a trophy where you need to win 10 times on the FreightYard map...

Problems arose here - even with a boost and without armor, it was not possible to kill the enemy, because... health regenerated quickly, and the motorized bike crashed even faster.
I found the following solution.
We select Shadow War and agree on a collection point somewhere away from the capture points, but not too far (the coordinates will help you). The one who fills the kills must have an infector. First, we shoot from the infector until a bubble appears (three or four shots), and then we finish it off with acceleration. Thus, health is not regenerated (and even gradually decreases).
In this situation, there will only be one random chance left: getting into different teams. If you hit one, then leave and come back again, maybe it will scatter in different places.

You can remove some of your health with any weapon (not necessarily an infector), but weapons with any nanoeffect are more useful (regeneration is slowed down at the same time)... and in general the idea is correct. After you take down some of your health, one hit will be enough to make a kill. It is important to remove the armor from the equipment for those who will be crushed.
In general, I advise you to make the trophy a boost, because it is the most dreary of all. And I also want to draw your attention: the higher the ego rank of the players (who will be in the game with you), the higher the regeneration of your health will be. So, for example, if there are players in the game with an ego level above 5000... health regeneration will be atomic and it is generally not possible to crush it with technology until you knock down most of the health with some kind of weapon... take this into account when entering the game. The maximum ego level of all playing players is displayed in the upper left corner (bright yellow).
