Stronger stance against PMD riders needed to better protect pedestrians

I was sad to read the article on the 71-year-old woman getting hit by an e-bike ('No senior should go through this': Woman, 71, has jaw reconstruction surgery after PMD-related accident, Dec 22).

But as a Pasir Ris resident, I am not surprised, going by the number of personal mobility device (PMD) riders in the area. This is something none of us, young or old, should have to go through.
