　　5. The woman was trapped in a shared car for more than 30 minutes! He was saved by smashing the window, but was asked to pay for it?

　　According to August 23, Ms. Chen accidentally settled in the shared car recently and was locked in the cab of the shared car. In the closed car with a temperature of nearly 40 degrees, she stayed for more than half an hour and called 5 customer service phones in a row, but was still in a state of inaccessibility. Finally, the police and others had no choice but to smash the glass window to save the person. However, the system requires Ms. Chen to pay the additional expenses incurred by "broken glass on this side of the main driver's seat". Ms. Chen expressed her discomfort. She said that the operator should post some small safety signs in the car, such as the location of the unlock button, so that in the event of an emergency, the personnel in the car can open the door in time. At the same time, she reminded the general public to carefully read the relevant agreements and observe the interior settings in advance when renting shared cars to avoid unnecessary trouble. Afterwards, the lawyer believed: "During the process of shared car rental, consumers form a contractual relationship with Shouqi Automobile Shared Car, so Ms. Chen needs to follow relevant contract regulations. On the other hand, Shouqi Automobile Shared Car should provide reminder services to consumers, and at the same time, actively respond to users' urgent requests for help. (Source: Ningbo Daily)
