You'd probably have a nice claim if the backseat passenger smacked their head off that persex.  Some clever person might do it deliberately?

Anyways, the video is dated yesterday... when all the DIY shops closed  oops

It clearly states PROTECTIVE .Is it PROTECTIVE for passengers or driver in event of an accident .I also note comments have been disallowed .Kevin from the driver team needs sacking .

Just rang Big Dommos mate who is a Barrister at Law .If you fit this screen you will be nullifying your car insurance  as you have modified it against the manufacturers design .He recons you would also need to pass suitability again due to the modification and as there is no standardised test for the screen it would not pass .

RIP Kevin.They've some balls the encouraging drivers to modify their vehicles.This stuff usually takes months and months of tenders and crash testing and certification.They must be really afraid they're not gonna last through the pandemic if this was the best plan they could come up with.At first I thought it was a joke.

Big Dommo is spot on.  He saw through the screen straightaway! 8)

You'll probably still need to wear a mask as the area under the seats aren't separated from the front of the car.

Even the medical staff are wearing plastic shields plus masks.I'd rather catch the virus than put that thing in me heap.

For those who feel the need to work, simply place a plastic bag over your head and tie it tightly around your chin, then let nature take it's course! 8)

Shower curtain would work too and it could go in the washing machine every two weeks.

Maybe i need my eyes tested but looking at the meter through the roof perspex it looks all distorted so a gammy eyed passenger couldnt read the meter properly.

You'd get lads picking their noses and wiping it on the perspex.Then who knows what the passengers would do to it.

Just thinking a 6 seater VW Caddy might not be such a bad buy considering the front seat will be off limits for so many taxis if this keeps going for months and months.You could have a screen and still loads of seats in the back.

Good idea, most shops have makeshift screens now... but the checkout girl still handles all produce with virus infested gloves and (at least in the case of Lidl las Sat) there's still no hand sanitiser at the entrance.
