What will it take to remove them now?😲

Fiona from Henderson

So sadly, we now have our first death involving a Lime Scooter.
May that poor person rest in peace and prayers go out to the family and friends.
We've had so many serious accidents, resulting serious injuries and now another one (on the same street as the death) and she ended up under a bus. … View more
So sadly, we now have our first death involving a Lime Scooter.
May that poor person rest in peace and prayers go out to the family and friends.
We've had so many serious accidents, resulting serious injuries and now another one (on the same street as the death) and she ended up under a bus.
What has to happen for the scooters to be removed?
If they aren't going to be removed, why on earth haven't they put a limiter on them, thus restricting the speed levels and only going to maybe 5kmph - 10kmph max?
At the moment the E-scooters can travel at speeds of up to 27kmh and have a maximum range of 48km
At this very fast speed on footpaths (which is illegal), nothing is safe in their way, pedestrians, parents pushing pushchairs, elderly - nothing is safe.
Let's not forget that they also travel on the roads.
The speeds that they get up to going down hill, it's a real surprise that a car hasn't clipped one and run over it.
They have been seen on a daily basis riding down the middle of the roads in central Auckland.
We've all seen those scooters out there with 2 people on one scooter.
If that's not an accident waiting to happen, I don't know what is.
On its app, users are told the following rules and regulations:
1. A helmet is required
2. Do not ride on the sidewalk
3. Don't ride downhills
4. Have a valid driver's license
5. You are 18 years or older
6. Ride at your own risk
What a load of baloney!! How on earth are these requirements supposed to be monitored?
So, what needs to be done to stop this madness of daily accidents on scooters?
Now that a death has occurred, is it time to remove them like so many countries have already?
Will electric bikes be next as they are also causing accidents to normal cyclists in the bike lanes with the speeds they are getting up to?

The opportunity for a preview of their tasting, features at the New Zealand School of Food and Wine, on Sunday 28 July heightens the anticipation of what will be a fascinating event.

Pegasus Bay, from Waipara in North Canterbury, released its first Riesling in 1993 and today its grapes are sourced primarily from un-grafted vineyards planted over 30 years ago. Edward Donaldson also believes that while ripe fruits dominate the wine when young, given the opportunity to age, the rieslings can feel drier on the palate especially as they develop more savoury, caramel and tertiary notes.

The New Zealand Wine and Food Event is an annual three-day public event in Auckland comprising a showcase of New Zealand and international wine, cooking workshops and master classes.
