20 Safe Driving Tips An Armored Truck isn t the Family Vehicle A fully loaded Armored truck traveling at 60 MPH on dry pavement may take up to the length of a football field to stop. Snow and rain add additional length.

21 Tires Versus Shoes The tires on an Armored truck have the contact equivalent to a shoe print of a large size man s shoe. Each tire has a footprint of 7.5 x 9 on the ground.

22 Prevent Friction Rollovers When the speed of a truck increases and the direction of the front tires are changed, the truck has a desire to rotate around the tire in a circular motion. If the speed is great enough and the turn is sharp enough, a Friction Rollover will occur.
