I heard of one that was demobilized and set on fire which forced the occupants out to face their doom. That's why I insist it's a total waste..

An armoured car does not protect you indefinitely, it just increases your chances of surviving an initial attack. Thus giving you an opportunity to take counter measures/evasive action.

When an armoured car is under attack the ideal thing is to race off. If you get immobilised, too bad...

Even if you were riding a tank, given sufficient time (and fire power), its defences will be breached. If you want to be completely safe from attacks get a bunker, crawl in and don't come out... And don't annoy the US, they have bunker busters smiley

its only in rare cases that an armoured car will be demobilized. an armoured car is hard to identify in most cases so a would be attacker would tink its a normal car, stand infront of it and attempt to shoot the windscreen. At that moment, the driver can conviniently drive into the attacker before zooming off.

The greatest challenge with an armoured vehicle is that sometimes when there is an accident, the doors may lock and occupants are trapped. Its normally very difficult to break into the vehicle to rescue victims.

The World's must luxurious armoured vehicles. Dartz Motors. They have their own edition of the Benz - G class called the iTempter. I am Dartz agent in Nigeria. Looking for the 1st Nigerian mad man to buy one. http://dartz.us/
Lol. Don't worry man. We have them aplenty. About 500 in the national assembly, only God knows how many in the Presidency, state assemblies, state governors and even local government chairmen. That's a large pool.

it may take up to a year before kidnappers or hire killers can kill you in your car, but it won't take up to 5 minutes for a woman to kill you on top.

Do u know that the donald trump can never die in his presidential armoured car except its extremely high level explosives or a nuke. Its not useless at all. It gives the victim extra time to escape. But nothing is perfect and in rare situations the car's defence can b disabled or the attackers might find a loophole.
But in majority of situations the victims escape unhurt.

ignorance is deadly! Driving an armoured vehicle means you can easily escape the everyday threat of kidnappers and assassins or highway robbers because they won't have the time to crack open the vehicle cos u can still move while calling for help with ur phone. Get some education pls.

lol. A lot of things we see in movies don't really work out as it's portrayed , some may be possible but the chances are very very slim. I hope you know a grenade will not even enter the fuel tank as there's usually this metal cover at the entrance of the fuel tank , more so , grenades don't explode with so much fire like it's depicted in moves , yes inflammable materials may get ignited but the grenade doesn't explode with fire

I guarantee you that anyone who can afford an armored vehicle in Nigeria has the commissioner of police on speed dial. You need his clearance to own such a vehicle.

whenever I read how a billionaire was killed so easily I feel sad and angry. With all that money invest in high tech security, armed guards bullet proof vest and vehicle - real security. At least if he goes down he and the world will know he did his best to protect himself
Why be stingy to yourself when it comes to security person who don't have anything can sleep without locking doors
