This is not safe....this is not approved....It’s cling film.
Yesterday, the UPHD issued a statement saying to London Mayor Sadiq Khan and his side kick (“I don’t know anything about transport”) Heidi Alexander, saying that TfLTPH refusal to allow safety screens in private hire vehicles.... placing drivers and passengers at risk as driver death rates soar.
They claim that this is Institutional racism!
They also insist that this less than arms length relations with operators approach is a lethal combination.
Is TfL guilty of 'Institutional Racism' or are they using their role as regulator to protect the public ???
As far as we know, PHVs have always been permitted to have protective screens fitted, as long as they are TfL/PCO compliant.
Most of these cheap screens, like the cling film one in the images above are deemed by TfL to be unsafe. You cannot protect the public -on the cheap- If screens are fitted they must be safe and TfL approved.
The UPHD need to find a new argument, playing the race card is deplorable.
At present these PHV drivers are getting away with the cling film screens as there are very few TfL COs around.
One reason why these drivers are chancing there arm is alleged to be the fact that the head of TfL compliance Cliff Llewellyn has left and is now working as compliance manager for new kids on the block Bolt.
