Why is there not a "no-go" ring painted around our vehicles whilst on convoy/patrol duties?

Wouldn't it make sense that the ROE dictate that ANY vehicle closing in on a Canadian vehicle within, say 30 metres, be immediately brought under suppressive fire?

Would that not be a successful solution to the regular casualties inflicted by these "suicide bombers"?...I mean, if they can't get close to a vehicle, they can't blow it up!

Alloah, Akbar...not!
