E-scooters and e-bikes have contributed to what one commentator describes as a "lawless Wild West" on roads, with doctors reportedly seeing a surge in related injuries and deaths. The current regulatory environment, according to the columnist, has led to widespread issues on streets.

This measure aims to curb the perceived anarchy and enhance accountability for those operating these devices.
