Thats fckn putting up to FN

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 ?

It's from a driver to FN complaining that the screen didn't pass suitability therefore isn't legal and shouldn't be advertised on their system as an option

[dalymount]

Well kinda bares out what I said all along that drivers should seek clarification about insurance NCT and suitability from F,N

I doubt Adventure signs who install the screens have an engineer on their payroll.The bloke who owns the ladder is probably the boss.

I've read the disclaimer/waiver but don't have a copy, it states that they don't accept any responsibility regarding NTA/NCT/Insurance failing to accept the product, it's fairly long and legalistic

[dalymount]

Yet they recommended it ?

And are offering what appears to be an "Illegal" Taxi service fitted with a screen

A driver to FN. Not anyone I know personally, forwarded to me by another driver I know. I have redacted the driver's name from the letter myself, so his name is known to me.

Free now are covered by the Waiver drivers sign when they get the screen fitted.

Taxi drivers and their spokespeople are going to talk us out of having screens in our vehicles, thereby making it less safe for us to operate, where we should be screaming to be allowed have these, we will be fighting to have them removed, hopefully I'm wrong.

Today's score 0/18.
Have yet to meet, or know of anyone personally who got the pox.
Clearly 25k got it, and they clearly don't move in my orbit.
Anyone know for certain of a taxi driver, or passenger who can confirm that they got the pox in a taxi?

Hugh try read the forum .THERE IS NO STANDARD FOR SCREENS ........THE NTA HAVE SAID THEY DO NOT OFFER ANY PROTECTION .There are guidelines you must not reduce the internal space below the standard .you must not interfere with safety devices ie airbags or head rests .You must use shatter proof material .As far as I know with the exception of the spring loaded compression fitted rubber edged screen I made myself no screen available on the market meets the requirements laid down by the NTA that would guarantee that they would pass suitability IF SCREENS ever become part of the suitability test .WHERE DID YOU GET THE IDEA THAT SCREENS WILL BE PART OF THE SUITABILITY TEST ?

I have a Suitability tomorrow Im removing the Screen until I get a chance to talk to the inspector and see if he has been advised on what to look for .Ill report back if there are any standards .As it stands fitting a screen is not part of the suitability so why give them the chance to fail you .I once wrote to the Minister for Motoring (unelected ) to ask what qualifications the SGS inspectors had to judge if fabric was dirty or clean or worn as their judgement on this could render me out of work .The Minister failed to respond to my queery .So if screens can be examined by Suitability inspectors what are the Criteria and what training have they recieved ?


BUT STILL SOMEBODY DECIDED TO TRY PASS A TEST WITHOUT KNOWING THE STANDARD Hu taxi drivers
