He is currently in the news for initiating amendments to the Road Traffic Safety Act that would require all users of electric micro-mobility devices, regardless of age, to wear helmets. This proposal aims to enhance safety for scooter and bicycle users in Lithuania, where a significant percentage currently ride without protective gear.

His efforts are part of a broader discussion in the Lithuanian Parliament about improving regulations for electric scooters and bicycles.
