• A driver from Banbury is hoping his security invention will let him give up life on the road. Spurred on by stories of attacks on drivers and thefts from cabs as well as personal experience of attacks, John Jones set out to find a deterrent.
His solution is a device called proteK-dor, which fits over the window on the inside of a cab. It is designed to make illegal entry to the cab a slow, noisy and hard process. proteK-dor Is highly visible from the outside, to deter attackers.
Jones has demonstrated the patented device to Scania at Milton Keynes; Scania was impressed enough to fund the production of another prototype for evaluation.
