This topic has been come very prominent in regards to Governor Corzine’s accident. The Suburban, which is the type of vehicle that Gov. Corzine was riding in, was rated among the second worst among large SUVs in terms of multiple vehicle driver deaths, single vehicle driver deaths and vehicle roll-over.<BR/><BR/>When it comes to Executive Protection, SUVs have a role but that role is limited to certain situations. An SUV should not be used as a regular means of transportation for Executive Protection. SUVs are difficult to control and simply do not perform as well in emergency situations typically encountered in Executive Protection which includes accident avoidance in addition to vehicle ambushes etc… Compounding this problem is that most Executive Protection driver’s training programs do not spend the same amount of training time in an SUV practicing evasive driving techniques as they do in a sedan. Consequently when it comes time to drive an SUV in an Executive Protection mission, driver skill isn’t usually as proficient.<BR/><BR/>It time to put to rest the notion that “bigger is better” when it comes to vehicle size and safety and Executive Protection.<BR/><BR/>Bruce Alexander<BR/>Publisher<BR/>Executive Protection web log<BR/>http://protectivesecurity.wordpress.com/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227147.post-46325805937415080612007-04-18T14:34:00.000-04:002007-04-18T14:34:00.000-04:00I'd like him to let us know what other laws he fee...I'd like him to let us know what other laws he feels he doesn't have to obey, after a full and speedy recovery.Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00658647763844107328noreply@blogger.com
