Another sad tale proving how dangerous the job really is.
I wonder if it would have happened if the vehicle had CCTV?

It is thought the gun was fired through the seat by someone sat in the back of his private hire cab. The bullet went into his lower back and out through his front, causing massive internal injuries. |

My Apoligies, the report that I read just said it happened in the street. |

It's always been one of my concerns that an attack will come through from the back of my seat and I have often wondered if there is no way to somehow protect against such things. His family and loved ones must be distraught now and I hope he makes a full recovery |

There would be no problem actually fitting a steel or aluminium plate into the back of the drivers seat. I don't know how thick it would need to be to stop a bullet at close range but anything up to say 2mm would stop a knife from being pushed through. The seat would need to be removed and the cover taken off, fit the plate and replace the cover. |

Wonder if he will stay in the trade? If he does I would suspect he might be going Hackney and buying a Hackney spec wav?.....  Or move to a safer part of the country, preferably not here......
