When we do go back, we are going to be wide open for a robbery, this time last year no one would have been allowed get into the taxi with a mask on. now they have a great excuse to have one, then you feel a blade to your neck. are you going to ask them to remove it? after all its supposed to be for other peoples protection not theirs, so you can say you aren't worried about catching the virus.

sneeze guard and cashless payments only might help?

+1......but the NTA are doing everything to stop them being installed.
-
I honestly think the sneeze guards are pointless in regards to the virus so wont be getting one installed. And it seems they will cause more hassle when doing your suitability test etc I can take card payments so yeah maybe I will insist on card payments and then if I do get robbed I will only have a very small amount of cash on me.

It's all fun and games till someone gets hurt!!

How many times have you been robbed so far ?

Never, but now people can get into the car with a mask on. I have cctv in the taxi, that might have prevented a robbery in the past but now it wont make much difference if they hop in with a mask on and a hood on.
-
It's a great time for the drug addicts and lads pissed out of their heads that you might not have otherwise allowed into the car.

Taxi 1990 absolutely agree with you that hiding identity in public this is what is my concern. Remember you have a right to refuse a fare if a customer don't behave in civil maner or he/she is drunk or drugged.

You don't think a large piece of plastic separating you from the possibly infected person is better than nothing?
I don't think you've really thought about it.
-
Thats the only reason I'd be getting a screen, to separate me from the masked filth. I read somewhere too that if you're with axa you don't need a covering letter for the sgs regarding your screen as they've given the go ahead on them all.

Except maybe Ken's diy screen. That may require an engineers report or at least a few clatters around the back of the head to try knock some sense into him.
-
Thats alright for axa to clear it,but how do you know it will meet NCTand suitability requirements ?
-
Afaik DM up to now you needed a letter to say your screen does not affect your policy. Now you don't need such letter, except ken, he does. Its a start I suppose.
-
No what I mean is,supposing tou turn up at suitability and the fail tou because of ( say ) leg room dimensions,head rest blockage,etc

Don'y worry, I will be careful who I let in but in the past it was easier to spot a scumbag, now they might have a mask on. Must update my security features. ;)

I don't think you've really thought about it.
most of the screens I have seen have big holes cut out in them for handing over money or card, it should be airtight if you are going to go to the bother of getting one installed. would you use a condom with a pin hole in it?

Which has since been updated by the NTA the day after.
I have a proper screen fitted now. (25 Euro).

Is that a big gap between your headrest and your window ken? With a gap that big what good is your screen? Waste of 25 snots. Id have bought a slab of Guinness and stayed home ken.
-
You should replace the words "protective screen " with " i just got robbed by"
-
Thats alright for axa to clear it,but how do you know it will meet NCTand suitability requirements ?
+1,
I'm sure there are quite a few different variations of screens knocking around that Axa customers have fit, OK by Axa but they all could not possibly be OK by the SGS man.

No, I don't think so, here are some other photos.

According to the NTA any Taxi driver insured by AXA is entitled to have a screen without a cover letter which will pass both NCT and suitability, or at least that is my reading of it.
-
Fair enough ken, looked like a big gap in the first pic. Is that a huge gap between the end of the screen and the centre console? Again if it is it renders that screen useless. Also, am I correct in saying that if you have a screen fitted you can only take max 2 pax with free now? That'll be interesting on a Saturday night when stuff gets back to some kinda normality. 4 20 somethings going to town. 1 cab with no screen or 2 cabs with. Which cab or cabs do you think they'll be ordering? I ain't rushing no where yet on the screen thing.
-
Not to mention the a/c which I use all the time. What exactly is the point of a screen? Some kind of psychological reassurance for the passenger or driver? Pure waste of time and money if you ask me.

At the moment 95% of the Taxi work is through app or dispatcher which is traced and the pax tend to behave themselves much better than the messy untraced street work.

There you have it! You know the drill . Again the SCAMDEMIC CON 19 can have second bottom and yes hiding identity will enable to identify ofender. This is why you have to get your helmet off when entering your bank or post office if you're motorbiker.
-
you should of stuck with your madey uppey cellophane screen ken, probably more effective than that gillopy that fn robbed you for. What brand of cling film did ye use ken, just asking, for a friend.
-

There is a big gap between the end of the screen and the center console fer taking cash or CC payments which is a bit too big fer my liking, but as I got it fer 25 Euro, Beggars can't be Choosers !
-
Are you restricted to 2 pax max with fn ken?

100% of my work has nothing to do with any app, I work in an area where the apps cant even be used. 100% of takings are mine.

FN still unclear on that prospect, I have signed up and sent them photos to be included in the FN 'Screened Fleet', but have not signed the 'Pledge' to say wearing a mask and max only 2 pax, Etc.

How is it held in place Ken?

Totally agreed, but the only work down here at the moment is FN.
The NCT, NTA and FN set the rules and if'n ya wanna make coin then ya gotta be prepared to jump through all the hoops.
-
Or stay at home till its all figured out. At the moment none of ghem know whats going on. Work in that environment or €350 for sitting on your gicker. Thats why I'm not giving a bollox just yet.
-

2 cable ties to the rungs of the head rest, pretty discreet.

Are you restricted to 2 pax max with fn ken?
No, not as of yet, I booked a FN Taxi myself this morning in Cork to collect my cab from my mechanic,
and there was no option on the customer FN app to book a screened cab nor was I asked how many passengers.
But it is a coming !
I don't know what FN will do ?
If they limit the cab to 2 pax then their takings/commission will drop.
I'm guessing that they will just go with the 'Screened Fleet' option of allowing customers to book a Screened cab ??

Your the ambassador gimp ffs you should know what they're gonna do.

I am the so called ambassador gimp, with a line of Gold stars behind me to get FN Gold status, and also signed in fer the FN 'Screened Fleet', but FN still only tell the ambassadors the same as the regular gimps.
When yiz all come back to work and the work will be scarce till the pubs re open properly in mid July, then the ambassador/gold/screened will get the First pickings of the FN jobs and the regular gimps can have what we don't want.
-
You put a useless advertising screen that you bought and stickers with the Freenow branding on your privately owned vehicle and you can't give anyone on here any useful information.
The idea of being a brand ambassador is that you know your shit and can promote the Freenow brand at every opportunity.You're just as clueless as the rest of us.Dopey bastard.

It doesn't have to be airtight, it's a simple barrier between the persons mouth and your face, it's not a spacesuit, if they are coughing violently and spitting through any cracks in the barrier at you, then maybe the cops should be called

In fairness now merch ken does try to promote free now at every opportunity, hell the chap even makes his own opportunities to promote them. He screams from the rooftops non stop about gold status and 1c off his fuel. He'll tell anyone who'll listen all about his free coffee and receipt rolls. The man will go out of his way to inform you all about his new free now screen. He'll bore you to tears with wild accounts of priority status. The man's not well.

He's great at telling us the stuff that we don't want to hear.The useful information that we need is scarce enough from the Cork gold medal hero.I'll leave him alone he's not right.

Yea ken, i am well able to work but I'm not. I'm patiently waiting. Meanwhile you can work and contribute to my wages. I dont want to hear any excuses ken, make sure you put in them hours every week so I can continue to get my free money. I hope your not thinking of taking a day off any time soon, I need my dollar. So get your lazy ass out of bed ken and go get my wages.

Ken take a day off ? Perish the thought.mount st need to be up his Nat King Cole day and night

For some, getting out in the Taxi is how they meet people and socialise, without it they'd be lonely, don't knock it, it's keeping people sane.
Could be any of us some day.
-
I'd more say the reason ken won't take a day off is not because he'll miss out on a days wages but rather his gold medal run will be broken. Ken loves medals, especially gold ones. Sure doesn't he show them off proudly every day and thinks he's making us normal drivers jealous because he has loads of medals and we have none. Ken doesn't realise that normal drivers don't care about medals or priority or gold status or any of the other shite fn strings ken along with. He's like a puppy after discovering his first bone, he goes all tingly and all when he opens the app and sees all them gold medals. I'd say he wakes up in the middle of the night to check it to make sure his medals are still there. Sad, but true.
-
Ah now horse be careful. Ken mite remind ya of yur imaginary trophy yu won yu wer goin on about for ages lol
-
Nothing imaginary about my plaque or rather plaques that I won in the national Irish taxi drivers slagging championship of 2019. I got one for annihilating ken and the other for kicking you all over the gaf. I've yet to lose. The 2020 championship had to be called off because of the disease but do feel free to pop by next year to try your luck again, loser.
-
Ooh....loser.....that be fightin talk down Cork way...careful now!!
-
I'm not calling ken a loser hal me aul pal, kens a winner. At least HE thinks he is, with all his little gold medallions and stuff. I'm calling octy out for the loser that he is by reminding him of that very painful beating he got that time.

God Bless your memory Lizzzy !
I have long since given up on that and just bought a HAT !
Fairplay Ken, there's no shame in it.

No worries Lizzzy, it was actually a shampoo called Zulphera that I used to use,
long since given up and really don't care anymore, the 7 Euro Hat does the job !

I honestly think the sneeze guards are pointless in regards to the virus so wont be getting one installed. And it seems they will cause more hassle when doing your suitability test etc I can take card payments so yeah maybe I will insist on card payments and then if I do get robbed I will only have a very small amount of cash on me.
You don't think a large piece of plastic separating you from the possibly infected person is better than nothing?
I don't think you've really thought about it.
most of the screens I have seen have big holes cut out in them for handing over money or card, it should be airtight if you are going to go to the bother of getting one installed. would you use a condom with a pin hole in it?
If you're homing in on the airtight thing as being a deal breaker, then you may give up. Masks are not airtight either, but they are recommending everyone uses them because they are another layer of protection that can assist. If you're separated by a screen, albeit with a couple of necessary holes or gaps, then of course this is going to help even further. To have airtight, you need to go into some sort of vacuum chamber, or ask Elon Musk for a lift.
If a fart can pass through two arse cheeks, your jocks and a pair of denims then anything can penetrate a mask. It's a matter of mitigation.

The cork gold medal hero
(https://i.postimg.cc/y3mY9K1K/Screenshot-2020-06-21-at-08-51-25.jpg) (https://postimg.cc/y3mY9K1K)
I think that is about my Ninth Gold medal in a row since I went back to work.
Let you work out the figures fer yourself while you sit on your ass 'well able to work' scrounging off the Irish state.
Yea ken, i am well able to work but I'm not. I'm patiently waiting. Meanwhile you can work and contribute to my wages. I dont want to hear any excuses ken, make sure you put in them hours every week so I can continue to get my free money. I hope your not thinking of taking a day off any time soon, I need my dollar. So get your lazy ass out of bed ken and go get my wages.
Fer me, going back to work was the best option after much thought was put in to it, I have worked all my life and sitting at home was just not fer me. I enjoy my job (most of the time) with the banter in the cab and seeing life on the streets.
I'm not short of money but the 350 was doing nothing fer me not even covering my weekly rent and maintenance payments and I was sat at home fer 3 weeks itching to get back to the work that I enjoy doing.
-
I'm keeping busy ken, plenty to be doing around the house, stuff i never had time for before because half my life was spent driving that poxy cab. I know I'll have to go back sometime but the longer the better as far as I'm concerned. Looking at what's happening around the world, especially Germany, I'd imagine we'll be back in lockdown sooner rather than later. Only problem is the longer I'm out the harder it'll be to go back. One things for sure though, when I do go back im off nights. Fcuk that shite, waking at 4pm, eating your dinner at 6am, listening to drunken dickheads all night. I'm simply not able for that anymore so I'll give the whole sitting in traffic all day a go. In the meantime you just make sure to keep contributing to my free money fund ken. If it wasn't for folks like you I may have to go back sooner so cheers for that ken. I owe you one.
-
In this new Covid world I have had to change and adapt my ways of work, and I'm not much fer changing or adapting to anything.
'Back in the Day' (3 months ago) a Taxi driver could make a handy living off the street with a birra app work to top it off, those days are gone, the streets are bare and most likely will remain bare till the pubs re open properly in a months time.
I learned, changed and adapted my working ways when I came back to work, FN (in Cork) was the only show in town and in order to get better work you needed Gold status (36 or 60 jobs per week fer 4 weeks) so I worked my Bollox off fer 4 weeks to get overall Gold status, taking jobs that a few months earlier I would not have taken.
Once on Gold status things got easier and jobs were more plentiful even allowing me to get to the '100 Club' one week.
As fer Hours and Nights worked;
Last week, 35 hours, 4 nights.
The week before, 25 hours, 4 nights.

I love the Night work, the Day work is too boring fer me, much less paid and terrible traffic.

There ye go again ken, with your gold medals. I'll say this one more time ken, hopefully it sinks in. STOP promoting free now. I dont care about medals and gold status. As I said I'm staying out as long as I can and hopefully when I have to go back everything will have returned to some form of normality. I know how to get my wages without that app ken. You living in a relatively big city should also be able to get most of your wages yourself without paying fn to find it for you. Problem is you've gotten lazy now and will gladly pay others for your work. Not everyone is like that ken. Some of us are like hunters after prey. We wait, we stalk, we pounce on that fare. Unlike fn plebs, they have to pay someone else to kill their prey and bring it back to them, minus the juicy bits for commission. When I hunt i get the whole fillet steak. When you go out you get the offal.

Nothing imaginary about my plaque or rather plaques that I won in the national Irish taxi drivers slagging championship of 2019. I got one for annihilating ken and the other for kicking you all over the gaf. I've yet to lose. The 2020 championship had to be called off because of the disease but do feel free to pop by next year to try your luck again, loser.
Tell me Horse, after you 'Won' that 2019 Slagging championship, how did you get on with the NTA and the Gardai fer the alleged abusive comments ? Did you get the Penalty points on your licence fer Speeding ? And how did the Drug possession beef end up ?
Just asking is'n'all seeing as you self declared yourself as the Winner of the imaginary competition !
-
I didn't self declare fook all ken, that was the results, pure and simple. I got the points on my licence ken, 3, which is the first time in many many years. I got a phone call from the nta that time but I explained that the guard must have misheard merry for smelly and he seemed to accept that and I heard no more about it. That was over a year and a half ago. For my other woes I got 3 months in jail or 140 hours community service. Thats going through the appeal process and I'm not back up until November. I'm a lot more armed this time with an mri report which proves I have 3 extremely painful issues with my back so I'm hopeful things will go my way. Other than that all is good. Thanks for asking although I fear the only reason you brought all that up again was an attempt (rather sad one at that) to discredit me because you lost in the 2019 championship. You did come 2nd though with octy being 3rd so don't feel too bad.

I see your point Horse and 3 months back you would be totally right, but I after working the last few weeks know what I am talking about in these Covid times, THERE IS NO FOOKING WORK ON THE STREET, you can Wait and Stalk all you want but there is Fook all 'Prey' out there.
My nightly Private jobs or Street/Rank jobs today would be about 10% of my takings, where as 3 months back it would be 50/50 App or Street.

Thats why I'm like a bear at the moment ken, im hibernating till all this is over or the 350 runs out, whichever comes first. At the minute you're like a vulture, circling around dead rotting corpses, swooping in for a mouthful of rotten, smelly, dirty flesh. I'm like an Eagle, soaring on the wind, looking down at the greedy, scraggly vultures flying around, scavenging beneath me.
-
Ken I posted here a few weeks ago .The industry will be down by 30% at least and I agree with you as most of that work will be street hails from restaurant and pub users but the 30% of trade might be =to 70% of street work .After this fever I would suggest at least 20% od drivers wont return especially renters and part timers as the weekend trade wont recover till next year The apps will be sold as traceable safer and contactless by both the NTA and the App providers .You are correct Ken the Game has changed .

So as to be correct on this, I'm the 'Vulture scavenging' while I'm classified as an Essential worker providing an essential service and paying tax on my hard working takings.
While you Horse are the 'Bear or Eagle' looking down upon me and sitting on your ass while well able to work scrounging off the Irish state ?

Masks . Science says that 200,000 people wearing masks could prevent ONE case .Remember most mask wearers dont have the Virus .Mask wearing is little more than a PR exercise .If you dont feel well you should be isolating .We dont seem to be promoting that message .If you dont feel well isolate Instead we seem to be saying if you dont feel well dont worry the Pubs will be open soon .350 until August Ill be sofa surfing till then might even consider parking up the car till December go on the dole .To many uncertainties about work and dizeeze .I have a real Problem Two weeks ago we changed direction WHY .The Indian Doctor nor the Early School leaver went on the Late Late to claim credit for the Change WHY .Dont know if you noticed The Early School Leaver has disappeared off the Telly he use to make a statement every day .Looks like Leo is getting ready for another General Election and thats the reason for the speed up .

Essential worker? The only thing essential about your work is you are essentially spreading that gick back around for wave 2. Keep up the good work ken, i may just get the rest of the year off because vultures like you ended up putting us back into lockdown. Well done ken, cheers.

Here ya go John M from the Gov.ie website, 28/3/20;
List of essential service providers under new public health guidelines.
land transport (for example, bus, rail and taxi services).

Just because taxis are listed as essential services doesn't mean that drivers should be putting themselves in harms way of the dizeeezzee.

Expendable worker ...as a taxi driver yu are expendable...not essential...you are self employed and someone has to drive nurses to hospitals otherwise the guards and army have to do it at great expense to the government tax payer but if yu do it for 50% percent of the fare it's a winner for everyone especially freenow marketing department be having dougnuts with sprinkles an chocalate filling for months to whoever's came up with that little gem of gettin the dopey cnuts to work for nuttin an puttin ther lives at risk cause it makes them feel like a hero and important for the first time in ther miserable worm like existence an if theif you snuff it on the job fron the chinesecvirus you are one less mouth to feed and one less 350 a week free money liability if yu work and you wont require compensation to yur family cause yu self employed . You will be another owl cnut not requiring the state pension which could of cost the tax payer hundreds of thousands....and medical card recipients that costs time an money to an over burdened health care system that cant cope with owl fuks on ther last legs wit piles and gout and heart diseases diabetes flatulence an smelly pissy drippin pants ...you gaff will become available to an immigrant aswell so leo wont have to deal wit racist cnuts in the west of ireland givin out about derelict hotels ful of afrikans an pakis complaining that they gettin the virus cause they all sharing the one Jack's and kitchen ...an you be one less to worry about in a mobile dole job that already is over supplied
An saturated with fuking eegjits who are unemployable, criminals types with personality disorders and samaria swords in the wardrobes waiting for the cnut to push them that little bit more an they decapitated the annoying cnut an foreigners who cant even speak english never mind know wer they going...... :-\

Believe me Horse, I'm the One out there working at the moment, there is Nothing on the Streets !
Maybe and only Maybe when the pubs re open in a months time there might be some street work available.
Personally I'm well pleased to be a FN ambassador on Gold status with a Screened cab.
As fer your Covid 'Scrounger' payment, I can Treble that every week at my ease in about 35 hours.
The Bottom line is the Bottom line !

It also says "hotels" in that list. I don't know of one hotel that stayed open since this started, so that must mean that their employees were in the same boat as us. That probably amounts to way more than the total number of taxi drivers in the country. So tens of thousands of "essential workers" didn't work when they were expected to, right? I'm rockin on till August 10th.

Though you're right about me getting the hang of it. I've learned well from looking at the postings over the years from the same few usual suspects on this forum.
Bad language, nasty slagging and plenty more unsavoury stuff seem to be the norm. It's little wonder people have a bad opinion of taxi drivers. No doubt you'll be back to me with some of the above mentioned stuff.

Thats because you're conditioned ken, told you that before. You don't know how to hunt anymore, you're too used to eating the entrails now. Or in the words of Kathleen Doyle, you need to try harder.
Personally I'm well pleased to be a FN ambassador on Gold status with a Screened cab.
You'd never know Ken, you hide it well.

I'm a very low maintenance type of person, I get me few bits and bobs from Tesco's or the Centra across the road,
the amount of clothes I have I expect will see me out so no need to be buying anymore.
As fer the Slagging, it's only child's play on here today, ya should have seen the Stick I took back on Roy's about Ten years back after I published me Buke, suffice to say that I reckon I hold the record of about 8 Bans from the old forum because I was well able to fight me corner.
