Screens

[Theoneandonly]

Rang AXA, they're sending out a one line letter to anyone that wants one stating that they are aware you have a screen fitted. mine is on the way.

It seems we pretty much self assess whether or not it meets standards.

It's a pity the plastic face shields look so daft otherwise more people would wear them.In Japan they wear them in the pub.Dont think it will catch on here.

Thanks Martin just sent them an E mail looking for consent to fit my screen .

AXA might be acknowledging you have a screen fitted,but they are not saying if you would be covered in the event of an accident.that would be far to vague for my liking

They are doing what they can to facilitate people fitting the screens into their vehicle, without the burden of having to check every screen individually, in order to say that the screen meets whatever standard you wish to apply they'd have to physically check them, which given we're in the midst a global pandemic isn't doable, therefore they are giving a blanket acknowledgement and allowing drivers to "self assess"

Robinson has stated that his screen will pass NTA/Insurance checks  ... is he authroised (sic) to say that

Did nobody spot the spelling on his taxi branding sign? who would trust this man with their signage?

Imagine him doing headstones? OUR DARLING LITTLE ANGLE, DIED AND GONE TO HEAVEN!

An old friend of mine used to do engraving on headstones and was dyslexic (But worked cheap) did that exact thing.

Recieved this from NTA 10 mins ago. Took them 3 weeks to sort it and get back to me....

Dear Mr xxxx,
Thank you for contacting the NTA (National Transport Authority). We refer to your recent correspondence received on 29th May 2020.
There is no specific SPSV prohibition regarding the temporary installation of Covid-19 dividing screens in SPSV’s. In order to remain compliant with SPSV internal vehicle dimensions, sufficient legroom should remain (650mm minimum) measured longitudinally and horizontally from the front face of the backrest at uncompressed squab height to the rear face of the seat or surface immediately in front of it. It is also a requirement for the internal temperature within the vehicle to be maintained to at least 20° C (with engine idling) during an external ambient temperature of -5° C. Depending on the vehicle model, this may not be possible where a dividing screen is installed preventing heating and ventilation systems from operating as designed by the vehicle manufacturer.
Operators must notify their vehicle insurance provider in relation to any temporary dividing screen fitted and ensure that any such installation does not otherwise compromise the safety of the vehicle, or render the insurance policy invalid. Confirmation from the insurance provider which acknowledges the temporary modifications made should be presented at the inspection centre.
Please review the ‘Advisory Guidelines: Temporary COVID-19 Dividing Screens’ document which is available from the forms and guides section of the NTA website for further details:
 
Seems they're happy with it pending verification of insurance companies clearance.

They use the word TEMPORARY quite a lot,so you could enter into a situation where you pay ( say) Robinson a lot of money to install something that is only temporary

So a one line letter to anyone that wants one stating that they are aware you have a screen fitted, which the insurance companies are happy to supply will suffice.
Looks like another "let's cover our ass" exercise from the NTA , much like the tamper sticker debacle

insofar as the pandemic is "temporary"

[Hugh Jenob]

Yes I noticed that. It looks like they are trying to cover all bases. Still, I'll be rocking up to Northpoint with me insurers confirmation letter. If the same cnut that failed me for the first aid kit 2 years ago fails me again, he'll be going for a spin in the boot.
