I'd be well in favour of installing a charlie sheen to keep cunts out of your ear.
the problem is you'll be listening to gimps saying it's all a loada bollocks.

I can imagine if you happen to cough or sneeze and you have the mask and rubber glove brigade in the car things might get real dicey.

People will adapt .Moreen Skully not from the flats but she hung around there wouldnt let Tommy Two Scars Fuck her because he wouldnt wear a Frenchie so he adapted and settled for a Gobble and everybody was happy .So if the Punters dont like the Bus they will take a taxi or Walk .People will adapt to the situation .

Like everyone else, he can say what he wants. I've got one from him complete with engineer's report. No issues from insurance company. I've recorded all conversations with them too (whether that would be any help is anyone's guess). NTA have no issues with this according to one of their recent covid advisory communications. See below....

How do I keep my vehicle clean to reduce the spread of the Coronavirus? »   Regularly disinfect surfaces, such as card payment devices, steering wheels, gear stick, handbrake, door handles, seats and the backs of seats and headrests - Pay close attention to all surfaces that are touched often by passengers. »   Wash hands frequently with soap and water (you can keep a bottle of water, soap and towels in your vehicle) or use a sanitizer gel if you have it – refer to the HSE handwashing guidelines. » Do not touch your face. »   Carry a box of tissues and use tissues to catch coughs and sneezes. Dispose of used tissues in the bin as soon as possible »   *Consider putting a see through protective screen or barrier between yourself and your passengers*. Some drivers have already installed Perspex screens or strong clear plastic sheets. Consideration should be given to the safety of both driver and passengers and the placement of such screens in order to ensure that the effective operation of safety equipment such as side airbags are not hindered. »   Place the HSE COVID 19 information for your passengers in the rear of your vehicle so that it is clearly visible.

Perspects is not an acceptable Material for a screen .Tissues ! where are they to be carried in the Vehicle are they liable to inspection at SGS and what bin are they talking about .Are any screen installers handing out insurance clearance forms ie have they gotten Pre approval for the screens they are selling from any Insurance Companies ?

Robinson's screen was a security screen with holes in it.Not meant for use as a sneeze guard but that's what they're selling it as.Maybe you'd need to seal up the gaps.

Do they meet a standard that is acceptable to the NCT and Insurers and do you get a Cert guaranteeing that they will pass the test ?

I could be wrong but they had ads up saying they would pass suitability somewhere, maybe. Adverts or Donedeal.They have a Facebook page with more detail.

They might have been selling them before Covid 19 as security screens.

Remember the black cabs in London all have screens as standard and they plugged up all the holes for cash to transport covid hospital patients.

Do you remember the Taxiwhatsit asked us did we want Screens two years ago I wonder if any one supplying them ever put in an FOI request for the Engineers report the NTA were relying on to make the decision on the type of screens that would of been suitable .

I would bet money it stated that fixing was a problem as we do not have a standard cab .I would bet Safety issues like Airbags ,Safety devices and fixing was a problem I would Bet that the list of suitable materials ruled out certain Plastics and Glass .I know this is where the NTA got the information from when they issued their guidelines on Screens .The NTA would not of issued ANY guidelines without supporting Documentation .

The car companies spend billions on developing new vehicles with 5 star NCAP ratings but then the taxi driver puts in a twenty euro advertising screen in that could cut someones head off in a high-speed collision.It's always a bad idea to modify yer vehicle.

The sad thing is Kens DIY screen is probably the safest in the fleet but it's not worth a bollox as far as COVID protection is concerned.

For the NTA to issue idiot-proof guidelines they would need to get proper consultants involved with an engineering background. Them lads don't work for a tenner an hour like us shitheads. The survey would cost a few hundred grand and we'd end up getting recommended to buy screens that cost more than we pay in tax every year.

Remember they spent loadsa good money on wind tunnel testing to see where would be the most fuel-efficient place to put the roof sign?

We'd be better off staying quiet until the pandemic passes IMO.Tell Freenow to go and fuk themselves with their shite screens.
