Where I live, Deliveroo riders ride like they are immortal. I'm amazed I don't see a few dead per day. Run through red lights, zigzag through traffic, ride on the wrong side of the road.

And I'd imagine it's driven by the incentives/constraints of the job. I never see anyone ride that crazy.

I'd say a 17-yo doesn't have the maturity to understand that this is not worth a daily dose of a milimort.

Further complicating things, Deliveroo riders aren't even employees (maybe that's changed recently). They are contractors and so the risks of doing a dangerous job are offloaded onto them by the company. An employer would be liable for eg setting delivery times that necessitate reckless riding, a B2B contractor is expected to do their own risk assessment.

So I think it's fair to treat these 17-yo as children in this context, and certainly as exploited.
