The collision was catastrophic. Jane Ouartsi suffered a fractured collarbone, two spinal fractures, a broken femur that took three operations to fix, and she had to learn to walk again like a baby. Why has no one taken responsibility for her life-changing injuries?
I don’t really see how it’s Lime’s fault that someone rode their bike into someone else. It didn’t malfunction from the sound of it.
Some compensation from the mother + child would be good, but I don’t know how much money they could even reasonably give.
More bikes in cities is usually better, but it does come with some risks of you’re acting like a moron. Less than cars but still.
I can see the argument.
I am a Swede, and will make a comparison to Swedish law, I don’t know if this law is the same in the UK butnit makes sense.
Here you have a legal requirement to make sure that no unauthorized person is able to drive your car, leaving the keys in the car and walking away is illegal.
I can see the argument that Lime failed to secure their scooters against use by unauthorized use well enough.
These are pedal bikes no? We have no license needed for those or restrictrions on who can use them that I’m aware of.
I thought they were ebikes…
Looks like you’re right, though I’m not sure if they are peddle-assist or not. Never used one myself.
Neither need a license as far as I know (correct me if I’m wrong).
