Robinson could be in trouble guaranteeing NTA compatibility

Does the Free Now screen comply with relevant standards?
If it doesn't have a roof sign and door stickers it's not a taxi.

I have a booking for later this month - rescheduled from last month - that I'll probably reschedule for next month as I got me dole today.

Speaking to a few drivers who said there was no real demand for screens either from the public,or the drivers themselves.I dont know if thats true or not,but if it is true,then F,N and Ebbs is after putting you to more expense,never mind the insurance implications,the NCT,and the suitability.I cant understand why any driver would make a rod for his own back to install something that is not mandatory

Dividing screens must not hinder or obstruct the normal operation of head restraints;


That's the text directly from the NTA pdf.....it says nothing regarding how the screen is attached.

If the screen is attached to the headrest and the passenger wants to adjust the seat would it cause an obstruction ?

That's the seat movement....the headrests have their own mechanism,i haven't in all my years have anyone ask if they could adjust the headrest....and now that social distancing is a thing,the front seat(in my car anyway) will remain vacant for the forseeable and in a fixed position to afford passengers in the rear the best possible legroom.

To be fair, it was the erm that brought them to the attention of NTA.
