| Hacked or stolen Lime Bikes are unisured as is the rider. Underage riders ( and that's a heck of a lot locally) are using them illegally. If they have or cause and accident or injury, unless they are arrested or charged which is highly unlikely as they will probably have scarpered, ( Unless they themselves are hurt or worse) there is no comeback and no means to make any sort of claim. As it is damage cause to other property by Lime bikes and others are almost impossible to make a claim against even with full details and co-operation. The T&Cs are not worth the paper they are written on and the culpable issue is that those who promoted and brokered the contract with these operators know full well that there are no resources to enforce any sort of governance and ensure safety to pedestrians, property and so on. Compare that to the vociferous chasing of legal road users for parking and minor infringements which have no risk to life, limb or property and the hypocrisy is stark. |
