When I was in the bay area zipcars were consistently driven by some of the worst drivers on the road.
It's like tourists in rental cars but worse, since these people often have never owned a car and drive very infrequently. I know people who never drove until their 30s then got a drivers license just to access zipcars. They're exceptionally bad drivers.
Right but it doesn't matter if they are bad drivers. They are still liable for damages and any accidents they cause. If you get in a wreck/get a ticket in a ZipCar, it is still your insurance that goes up, and points on your license, and you have to pay the ticket.

Which means nothing to the other drivers and pedestrians sharing space with these hazardous nuisances.
Personally I prefer these people use electric scooters than N-thousand-pound >100HP vehicles.

Is ZipCar no longer in DC? They’re in every state I’ve been to. I assume they’re in all of them.
This is just a car rental for a shorter amount of time. And in D.C. we had something called ZipCar which was pretty close to that.
