If your line of work involves travelling to unstable, dangerous areas then you must do what is necessary to protect yourself.
Many companies and their personnel who regularly travel to third world countries to drill wells, help build schools or are there to teach locals how to fend for themselves often purchase or rent bullet proof vehicles for protection.
In fact, it is considered essential today to use this type of armoured vehicle when working abroad in countries made up of unstable governments, corrupt military and in areas that are experiencing civil wars and uprisings.
The risks are considered just too high to take chances with lives of staff who are in these areas to do good.
We read often in the news about stories of goodwill ambassadors who unknowingly risk their lives travelling in such areas without protection.
These unprotected vehicles often travel in convoys and are quickly seen as easy targets for robbers and kidnappers looking to score.
The vehicles are often fired upon and are forced to stop, wherein the passengers are either robbed of their money and valuables or taken hostage and used for the negotiation of large sums of money in trade for the safe return of the victims.
Worse yet, sometimes the occupants of the vehicles are murdered and the auto mobile stolen.
In order to greatly reduce the chances of this happening to your or your staff, you should consider looking into purchasing one or more bullet proof vehicles for protection.
This type of vehicle is often a very ordinary looking, late model, top-brand name car but it has been specially reinforced with thick panels of overlapping steel which act as a barrier for direct arms fire.
Not only is the body fully reinforced, but the windows are made of a special combination of shatter-proof glass and a polycarbonate material which prevents the penetration of bullets.
There are UK-based companies who specialise in customizing vehicles to make them bullet-proof.
Their goal is to provide citizens with the safest and most secure bullet-resistant vehicles available on the market while helping them maintain a low profile.
These companies provide high-end luxury vehicles for companies working in unstable areas - for businessmen, politicians, goodwill ambassadors and diplomats.
It is a well-known fact that up to ninety percent of all terrorist attacks occur when the targeted individual is travelling by auto mobile.
Those most at risk are heads of state, religious leaders, industrialists and corporate heads of companies.
Bullet proof vehicles are on the market for a reason.
Instead of continuing to take chances with your life, consider taking a look at these vehicles.
They are designed to get your where you are going without the fear of being overtaken by criminals.
Even the tires are reinforced so that if they are shot at and destroyed, the vehicle will still be able to travel at high rates of speed, ensuring your escape.
Every vehicle of this type sold today by a licensed dealer fully meets the current European standards for armoured vehicles.
