How children get behind the wheel of car sharing and then fight in an accident

0
Car accidents caused by children behind the wheel almost always receive loud public outcry. The recent story of young people from New Moscow renting a car from one of the car-sharing services using someone else’s account was no exception. Who is responsible for the fact that teenagers still have access to rental cars, the AvtoVzglyad portal understood.

Rain, snow, ice, Sunday – and therefore not the best factors for accident-free driving, and then there were children behind the wheel. The result – a shared car wounded on a pole and the victims – a 17-year-old driver and passenger born in 2007. There were five thieves in total in the car.

A minor who likes to drive a rental car used someone else’s account. How he managed to do it and why the trade in such a counterfeit has not yet been eradicated is the main question the public has been asking. And, as usual, opinions on this matter were immediately divided.

On the one hand, once you get behind the wheel and step on the pedals, figure out how to start the car, you deliberately break the law and bear the responsibility for it. On the other hand, is it worth blaming only “tin” for using another public opportunity to buy a fake account in one click, because “if there are no accidents, no one will notice”?

The arguments of those who believe that it is primarily teenagers who should bear the responsibility for this offense are simple. Children quarrel everywhere – both on shared cars and on personal cars stolen from their parents, so the blame lies primarily with the hijacker and his relatives, who did not follow the child. It was necessary to teach well, where does the service come from? And if so, let the parents and the car sharing operator decide in court and prove that it should not have sold the service.

The arguments of those who oppose the punishment of children or just them alone are no less weighty. Why are stupid teens to blame, and not adults – operators of car sharing services who have not taken care to protect their accounts from counterfeiting? After all, shops do not sell alcohol to persons under the age of 18 and such a violation inevitably entails a fine for the point of sale. What is the difference with a service that sells rides?

“Nobody here is trying to take responsibility away from the teen or the parents,” writes a participant in one of the autotelegram chats. We are talking about the responsibility of the service. Do you understand? It shouldn’t be the case that a 15-year-old can just grab a car and leave in it. And then the cameras were pricked, those muddy pictures clung – with a belt, or without, or with a phone, or with a roll in hand …. And so that children or drunks could not take a car – they didn’t control it. Failed – bear responsibility …

So is there a way out? Or do the parties keep accusing each other about who is more guilty, but do nothing?

– The only and easiest way out is authorization in the application through public services. This is the most logical action to prevent or reduce the risk of such situations, says lawyer Ilya Afanasiev. — It is more expensive to put a camera in the car for objective monitoring of the rental session, but it is also an option. And it is necessary to introduce liability for minors, for example in the form of corrective labor. After all, today’s children have problems with responsibility due to the dominance of psychologists who protect their fragile psyche from injury, helping parents with their overprotection. It is therefore necessary to introduce criminal liability. The way they talk to each other about their childhood experiences, sweeping the streets, the lawyer believes.

However, according to the head of the working group of the ONF “Protection of the rights of motorists” and the coordinator of the “Blue Buckets” movement Pyotr Shkumatov, organizing a concentration camp for teenagers is not the best way out.

– It is necessary to reasonably approach the responsibility of both the car rental service and the parents. And use modern authentication methods. Only a combination of all methods and a fair division of responsibility can lead to results. In the meantime, there is a bias here, when in fact the service is not responsible for anything. But he should, because he did not take all measures to prevent such incidents. That responsibility could be enshrined in law, there has long been talk of the need to pass a federal law on car sharing, the social activist recalls.

And meanwhile, behind the talk of criminal liability, which hypothetically comes from age 14, carsharing today can be rented not only by teenagers subject to the almighty criminal code, but also by children themselves.

And it seems that until the law prescribes not only rights, but obligations for operators and users of rental services, we will continue to be horrified by child accidents in rental cars, because adults today have completely withdrawn from solving this problem.
