Health and safety act and lime scooters.
I know, "Not another Lime scooters discussion!" - but this one is because I'm curious about how the new Health and Safety Act applies to the situation. The act was introduced to make life safer for everyone - then these scooters were introduced. In every industry today strict controls have to be put in place to ensure nobody hurts themselves even when it seems obvious that they would have to do something really stupid to do so.
So then, how does this apply to the scooters and perhaps having controls in place to ensure under-age riders aren't using them and riding in the wrong places? [GPS control could shut them down when riding around the lake for example] Could someone be prosecuted when someone underage gets hurt or killed riding them?
I'm hoping someone who knows more about the Health and Safety act could shed some light on this.

Poll: Do you think this was the right decision?
Hamilton City Council is defending a $60,000 spend on a flood of water management PR featuring a TV personality as residents face huge rates rises.
At a time of council cash constraints, Te Radar - real name Andrew Lumsden - catches the eye on the council’s Facebook page, where he currently features in three “explainer” video clips about Hamilton’s water services.

Have you come across many roadworks sites recently?
The frustration of seeing a detour sign partway through your journey on the main highways possibly the new way forward when it comes to roadworks.
One of the latest areas to have a section of the road blocked off is State Highway 1 between Putāruru to Tokoroa as part of a massive renewal project that extends down to Waiouru.
