When you rent a car any fine is notified to the rental company which then forwards it to you.They can do this because there is paper that you signed that says that at that time you were driving. In the case of a scooter there is just a row on a db, I don’t know if that is enough to shift responsibilities, thought if they wanted they could address it (for example I remember that in one place users are required to take a photo of the scooter before leaving it) but part of the appeal is that you can just leave the scooter anywhere as soon as you reach your destination
- jaclaz 4y agoYes, but - see below - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34848478 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34848478 I was thinking not so much of the parking fines, but rather of the driving ones that reportedly are "split". The scooters don't have a registration plate, so the Police (or whomever issues the fine) has to stop the rider (or not?) then: 1) if the rider is stopped and fined, how/why is the fine split with the company? 2) if the rider is not stopped and the fine goes generically to the company, same question, if the rider can be identified in order to split the fine, why can he/she not be made to pay the whole fine?
