The correct answer is A) 1 and 2. Cash van drivers need to be highly vigilant against potential robbery tactics. Staged accidents (blocking the van or forcing it to stop) and fake police officers (impersonating law enforcement to gain control) are well-known methods used by criminals to ambush cash-in-transit vehicles. Expected traffic diversions are usually known in advance and factored into route planning, while normal speed breakers are standard road features managed with routine driving skills, neither of which pose the same level of specific, deliberate security threat as staged accidents or impersonation.

Special attention is required for threats designed to stop or intercept the van through deception or force, such as staged accidents and impersonation of authority figures.

Effective cash-in-transit security involves rigorous route planning, risk assessment, communication protocols, armored vehicles, and trained personnel. Being aware of and prepared for specific attack methods like staged accidents and fake officials is crucial for the driver and accompanying security personnel. Unexpected traffic diversions could be a potential risk, but “expected” ones are less of a special concern than active criminal tactics. Speed breakers are a matter of driving standard practice.
