No new deaths today. With a bit of luck this may all pass. Maybe the last thing people will want to see is screens or anything to do with this disease.

Personally i think that Ebbs and F..k off N.w they have no authority no more and both of them loosing money. Its up to all us drivers to decide what is good for us.
That plastic covers are highly unsafe for both passenger and public in case of accident. I love to see crash test showing what will happen to both driver and passenger. However that plastic cover creating psychological barrier between customers and driver=more violence at your work place ! Dont Comply , Dont Obey. Hard times coming BEWARE ON HARVESTERS

Folks just a quick query about these screens. I know the subjects been touched upon a couple of times but I have a specific question. Do any of youse know any driver that actually got one installed and passed suitability? Charles Robinson up in ballymount does one that wraps around the driver compartment. I seen photos of the finished job on his fb page. Looks v professional. Does any know about this firm? Reliable etc? It's a saloon I have and I know for sure the 650mm requirement won't be met. Then again I've never seen them being measured at northpoint. Any input would be appreciated.

Get one that is easily removed/replaced and don't have it in place for the suitability test

Are you now a 3 passenger vehicle or will you take 4 ?

yeah ..... Sticker on the passenger window telling them to fuck off and get in the back

I have my temporary 'Cling film' screen in place, I doubt it's of any use but it keeps the PC mask wearing hippies happy.
When/If the NTA give us guidelines of what we can install rather than the wishey washey email they sent last week telling us what we cannot install, then I will install a screen that will pass suitability, hopefully the 25Euro FN (fer ambassadors) screen will pass suitability and insurance regulations.
The time will come that FN and all other dispatchers will be offering customers a choice of a Taxi with or without a screen, and priority given to cabs with a screen.

No. SGS haven`t tested any taxis during the screen installing outbreak.

On the Robinson's auto Facebook page it does say that their screens are "suitability compliant".I suppose they should be offering a money back guarantee that they'll pass out.

I also noticed they're offering another screen between the two front seats.Probably about €500  for both screens.Still no evidence that the screens do any good.But they do say they have paperwork so that's something.

Or meet the required standards(none at present) to satisfy the Insurance Co./NCT/SGS when/if they start dishing out standards.

Seems like a lot of money to spend and still to have to wear a mask and wash yer hands constantly.Be easier to put a black bin bag over the passengers head.
