Is There a Training Course That I Can Take To Learn To Operate an Armored Car?

Yes, we have special training programs for people who need to learn how to handle tricky driving situations, like evasive maneuvers and potential hijacking incidents. These courses help drivers develop important skills to stay safe in high-risk scenarios.

However, for most people, driving an armored SUV or sedan doesn’t require extensive training. It mainly involves using common sense and practicing safe driving habits.

It’s important to remember that armored vehicles are much heavier than regular cars, often weighing 20 to 40 percent more. This extra weight affects how the vehicle handles, so drivers need to be more cautious. For instance, they should keep a safe distance from other vehicles because the increased weight means it takes longer to stop. They also need to be careful when turning to avoid tipping over and should pay attention to speed limits since the extra weight can make handling trickier at higher speeds. Staying aware of these factors can help prevent accidents and keep everyone safe on the road.
