If you are fitting a shield do not use perspects use Polycarbonate Plexi Plastic .Perspects will shatter .Very popular among the Cripps and the Cribs to make prison shives .I made a screen that is pressure fitted would pop out in an impact .Remember it only has to stop a snot not stop a bullett .Practicality over aesthetics .

I'd drive my car like it was stolen if some cunt was that eager to get to me......the fuk would be rolling around the back seat....he'd wanna strap himself in or make an emergency exit......and obviously i'd need to make sure the brakes were working aswell....as in emergency stop type braking!!

As Ireland prepares to lift some lockdown restrictions, Free Now has released new travel guidelines.

The taxi app is encouraging drivers and passengers to wear face coverings when travelling.


Lidl have welding helmets on special this week... and espresso machines.
If it doesn't have a roof sign and door stickers it's not a taxi.

If a fart can get through 2 ass cheeks, underwear and Jeans WTF makes you all think the Pox ain't  going to get you through masks and screens.

The NCT don't check the suitability as a taxi.....but at Licence Renewal Assessment those screens could become an issue.....but how come shops,chemists etc can install "safety screens" seemingly without issue.

My Snot screen will  be simply used so the punters are in back and no Cunt sitting beside me fiddling with the radio.

Well they are paying for the journey .

That reminds me of the time I went to Vicar Street and had to walk all the way to Jurys Inn to get a taxi. All I wanted to do was sit back and relax because my dogs were barking, but the old boy turns off the radio and in his rough accent, talks mundane dung all the way to the Hotel.

I'm sure his handlers said keep it vague and don't mention taxi drivers.

A Cork taxi company is already advertising that you can book a car with a screen both by phone and by their app, a second company is currently fitting out 100% of their fleet with screens, I think not having one soon will be detrimental to our earnings, as once they get used to them customers at ranks and pre booking will expect a screened car. I don’t have one yet, but I’ll do something about that in the next few days. I also think if most cars have screens and a few drivers don’t, that the unprotected drivers will be prime targets for the scumbags

Other posters are saying the same thing but all a screen does is contain the potential virus in a smaller area making it more likely that the passenger will be more vulnerable from the previous customer or previous ten..Generally, our customers are a smart bunch. I think they know the screens are not there for them so I won't be in a hurry to get one.

If I had one I certainly wouldn't be cleaning it after every fare.

It's interesting that when Tesco and lidl and the petrol stations put up screens they didn't advertise it as a device to protect their customers.But taxi apps and despatch companies are treating the drivers like we have Ebola and telling the customers it's a feature..

Even the dickheads in the bunker in Freenow put up screens to protect themselves from incoming drivers but I'll bet they've no screens between their desks in the office.
