The best type of fitting is mounting the screen onto a frame attached to the vehicle ‘B post’. It is important that the screens are professionally installed by specialist fitters to ensure passenger safety.

The screen should not prevent easy and immediate communication between driver and passengers.The screen must be transparent so that the driver and passengers can see each other without restriction.Screens should be manufactured by a specialist manufacturer and be provided with sufficient risk assessments and technical data to demonstrate to the Council that the screen has been fully tested for safety during crash situations. Materials such as plastic sheeting, shower curtains, cling film, etc would not be acceptable. The screen would need to be sufficiently strong to be safe however demonstrate a degree of flexibility, for example polycarbonate.
