Dollymount I have no real objection to screens that are safe and approved for use but home made Free Now plastic walls are dangerous to both passengers and drivers .A shattering piece of plastic is as deadly as a Dagger .When Big Dommos mate Sean the Shive was locked up in Pentonvill in the 70s he sharpened a piece of plastic to carry as an offensive weapon .

Fit a screen and but them in the back.
I do think there is a difference in risk when you have your back to somebody, common sense would suggest this is so
Only a truly hungry cunt would fit a non conforming screen endangering his passenger .If I saw a taxi with a home made screen I would report it to the Gards the taxithingey and the insurance .How irresponsible can you get treating your passengers with non conforming screens .

Is there such a thing as a conforming screen? we live in strange times, needs must, as far as I'm concerned when you weigh things up a screen of some sort is necessary if and when you intend returning to work .... at least until a vaccine is approved

I took the car out to charge the battery and there are loads working away.It actually looked busy around Phibsborough.Seen a few taxis up close and the link rentals were busy with their fancy screens.

So there are probably just as many passengers getting fed up with the lock down and don't give a shit if they catch it.I suppose some older folks would rather live their shorter life and take a chance than be locked in a room all day.

I have my plexiglass  and am waiting on a clear tarpolin to arrive, I haven't decided yet which will be my sneeze guard and which is for the tomatoes, what did the tarpolin look like in the Lynk set up?

Just looked like the material that they used to cover a kids buggy.No doubt some of the meter installers will offer something in a few weeks.

I wonder where the African lads used to get the PVC covers for the seats.I think they fail suitability but easy to clean.

Is the plastic sneeze barrier fire retardant or do you not mind if some cunt puts a light to it .Dont fit fuck all to your vehicle you are altering the vehicle and voiding your insurance .Do any of you remember in the 80s when nearly every Hiace had bull bars .Big Dommo had an accident at  the Sundrive crossroads and his insurance would not pay for his damages as he altered the vehicle by fitting the bars .

Fair play to you ONLY at least you have a business plan Im just posing questions .I think the Firms will try to present themselves as sharing caring but if they do Ill tear them a new arsehole .Any internal devices must conform to at least an ISO standard .
