Electric vehicle accidents

Now Lime is giving away helmets to the scooter drivers - maybe some sort of airbag devices for pedestrians would be helpful too!

Mr Blobby outfits will be useful.

A Mr Blobby suit may have helped this rider as well!

You can't blame an electric scooter for those very minor injuries. Try falling off a table at the Heinerfest (only slightly smaller than the Oktoberfest but in June in Darmstadt) and you'd just be rolled under a bench until you'd recovered enough to start drinking again. One's lovely assistant walked home on a broken ankle and didn't notice it for 24hrs.

So, to summarise, Ms Gianfrancesco got pissed, hopped on a Lime bike, fell off and it's all the fault of Lime. Talk about the entitled generation.

Get rid of the whole damned lot. ( Scooters that is, not people - tho' that might help ! )

Lime were given permission to litter their scooters around Dunedin last week. Despite it being illegal to use them on the roads, one was driven down the 'steepest street in the World' within an hour. Did the fools in the Council really expect anything else?

Last night a 26 year old 'foreign national', thought to be a medical student at the University, was critically injured in a collision wit a large truck at 1.45 a.m. https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/110004 ... oter-crash

I hope she recovers, but it's just a matter of time before the first fatality.

A couple of years back the barmaid at out local (about 40) chose to use her son's push scooter going home from a party.

The injuries have all healed and you can't see any scarring.
