Lots! With the amoured plating, I have heard that cash vans are all so near the mark that they run almost permanantly overwieght. Where is that plate from? i don't recognise it and can't quite see the country letter.

I used to drive one of those.Horrible,slow and used to roll on corners.The front glass was bullet resistant but the pillars gave bad blind spots.In a heavy accident all the weight behind the bulkhead meant the whole front disintegrated.The poor soul in the back sat on a flimsy seat surrounded by angle iron and steel and even if he could see the driver was about to crash could do beggar all about it being locked in.Despite the interior plating,bandits often got in by brute force with fork lifts and rams on lorries.Later they'd simply threaten to set the driver on fire when he got out unless the passenger threw the money out of the van.
This isn't possible with the newer ones.
Happy days.
