Patent attributes
A vehicle driver security screen and in particular a screen that seeks to minimize access to the driver's area of a vehicle such as a taxi cab or bus from side or rear attempts by passengers to access the driver area in an assault or robbery situation. The security screen is removably attached to the driver's seat in a way that does not restrict the movement of the driver's seat, nor restrict the driver's access or escape from the vehicle. The present invention is useful for drivers of public transport who are regularly exposed to aggressive behavior from passengers. The security screen provides protection to the head and torso regions of the driver while allowing contact with the passengers, such as when money is exchanged. Furthermore, the security screen provides protection to the driver from rear knife attack.
