The Council recalls that the Bizkaibizi service is only for persons over 16 years of age and that the transfer of minors entails financial responsibilities
The Portugalete Municipal Police are investigating the death of a man after he was hit by an electric bicycle. It appears that a minor under the age of 15 was travelling with him. The Provincial Council has warned that the adult "account holder" of the Bizkaibizi service "will be financially liable for the damage caused to third parties".
The Provincial Council of Bizkaia has demanded responsibility for the use of Bizkaibizi as a result of a fatal hit-and-run in Portugalete (Bizkaia). Apparently, a child under the age of 15 died after being hit by an electric bicycle and has warned that the service is limited to persons over the age of 16.
In a statement, the Provincial Council of Bizkaia first expresses its respect and condolences to the family and environment of the person killed in the capture in Portugalete. The incident is being investigated by the local police, and until the official conclusions are established, the Council considers it "essential to maintain the utmost caution, avoiding premature assessments".
After pointing out that the deadly outrage was linked to the " misuse of the Bizkaibizi service by the minor bat ", which requires a clear emphasis on the individual and family responsibility associated with the use of the system, the Council has specified that the Bizkaibizi service has an internal report containing the technical and operational data to which it has access and is awaiting an official report.
Rules of use in Bizkaia
The Member of the European Parliament recalls that Bizkaibizi has full control and security measures in place, including that the\u00A0 service is only for persons over 16 years of age and that the transfer of accounts is prohibited, especially for persons under 16 years of age.
In application of these rules, the accounts improperly used by children under the age of 16 are blocked, in this case for three years, as a "preventive and exemplary" measure .
The Provincial Council of Bizkaia has warned families that "the transfer of a Bizkaibizi account to a minor under the age of 16 is not permitted and has serious consequences". In this regard, it recalls that Bizkaibizi is a service designed for persons from the minimum age set in its terms of use, and that the insurance of the service does not include accidents or damage arising from improper use, including that of minors through assigned accounts.
In this regard, he has warned that "the adult holding the account that is misused assumes responsibility for any personal or material damage that may occur, since the insurance of the service does not cover misuse" and, as a mother, father or legal guardian, "may face the legal consequences" and "be financially liable for damages caused to third parties". It further states that it "endangers the safety of the child, the guardian and all citizens".
