Screens

[john m]

The only reason the NTA would ever start interfering in whether we have to have screens or not,is because drivers installed them off their own batt wiithout any prompting from the NTA the NTA will probably make them compulsory later on,because they will assume thats what the drrivers want ,when in fact it is the drivers themselves who are eventually going to heap this additional expense,and new rules because of the lead taken by cute whore dispatchers who take the credit,while we pick up the tab

Your never for listening are you .We were previously asked if we wanted screens we said No and the taxithingey accepted that WHY ?Because they would of  carried out an engineering report and found they could not fit them to cars as they are not universal .They would of  discovered that fitting them would obstruct the Airbags or head rests prevent the movement of the front seat for the comfort of the paying passenger they would of also   carried out a Materials assessment and found that Polycarbon not Glass or Perspects would be safest .They would also find  that Fixing would require modifications to the integral design of the Vehicle Ie drilling the subframe to affix any screen and that would not be in line with the Original design safety standard of the vehicle .Trow a few quid at it and ask for a FOI report on the fitting of Screens to Saloon Cars .

John .you dont seem to get it.its not what the NTA says,or does,its the PUBLICS perception that these things are protective of their health,and as long as that is the case,then drivers WITHOUT them havent a fukin hope.then tou have the likes of F/N and Ebbs telling the public they can have a taxi WITH a screen as opposed to one WITHOUT a screen.you and I both know they offer no protection,but Ebbs and free now have painted a different picture for the customers

Ah I do miss the Good old days collecting old clother with a horse and cart and giving the kids baloons and blowey things .Business evolves Dollymount just like all seater stadiums or colour telleys in Bookies .I remember when it was against the law to have a telly in a bookies .

[dalymount]

So why did you fit one then ?

[dalymount]

Jeezj your older then I thought if ya remember the horse and cart ,giving out ballons etc steptoe and son eat your heart out,John and Dommo remember the good auld days

[john m]

So why did you fit one then ?

Dollyer The traveling public who pay us might want them if they do I have one .I fit one for the same reason I wash the car .It looks good to the customer and even though the taxi thingey say they do not work we do not know what criteria they were risk assessing against I believe a screen would cut down on cross contamination so for my personal welfare I think fitting a screen is prudent .

[dalymount]

So in other words you agree with me.you had to get one in because of the pressure from other drivers,and dispatchers scum ?

Are you illiterate .I clearly stated two issues .1 The people who pay me might like one fitted .2.I personally consider it prudent to create a safer space for ME .I never mentioned any Dispatcher .

[dalymount]

Well thats who introduced them,Ebbs,and F=N between them

Sorry Bob but which screen did you have? I'm assuming that's your document?

[Theoneandonly]

Bring it back without the screen

[Theoneandonly]

Has anyone got a copy of the free now waiver form they get you to sign?

[Bob Shillin]

Sorry it's upside down, don't know how to fix it.

[Bob Shillin]

No not my screen. Won't be fitting one unless income severely affected. Mine is a  1 car house.

[dalymount]

Who is that letter from,and who is it to.I cant enlarge it,so I cant really make out what it said,but it seems to bare out what I said all along about the dispatchers being responsible since it is at their insistance you all fitted them in the first place.has anyone told Ken about his beloved F,N ?
