Worst than that, it could lead to even more stupid terms and
conditions annoying you over and over and over again after every route
request. The situation we're in today isn't one of care and
responsibility, it's all about covering your butt from legal attacks
by making it seem like you are doing something about care and
responsibility (of other peoples stupidity).

Take for example supermarkets, they often have up in large signs about
how kids should ride in trolleys, however 9 times out of 10 no kid is
riding safely on trolleys, or even in trolleys and the supermarkets
are virtually forced to put up big signs to cover themselves from
other people's mistakes and stupidity.
