PRIVACY SCREENS

A Preston taxi firm is the first to trial new private screens in the hope it will help to reduce risks to drivers and their passengers. Mr. Paul Cookson, part of the team at New City Taxis, with over thirty years experience as an owner, operator and driver, created the prototype in response to the Corona Global Pandemic.

He said: "I started researching the conditions of private hire vehicles fitted with private screens online. We had to find the right product. "It hasn't been easy, the first prototype was a disaster - far too thin and floppy. I've been back and forth four times to get it right. "As cabbies we're all in this together and we need to find a safe way to work".

"I think it will be a success, the product is so clear you won't know it's there. He says the idea of keeping other families as well as his taxi colleagues safe, inspired him.
