Personally, I think both indicate that we should change social policy to reduce the number of cars, have strictly enforced speed limits, and place primary responsibility for such incidents on the driver of the vehicle.
The Dutch road traffic engineer Hans Monderman is famous for his "shared space" urban design, where he would "walk backwards into dense traffic to demonstrate that drivers would be sufficiently human not to run him over."
Why shouldn't we draw that conclusion, instead of prohibiting Ecstasy?

Is that enough to make a national policy change and prohibit Ecstasy?
Here's someone who died because of walking into traffic while wearing an iPod: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1091715/Girl-14-kill... . Should we prohibit listening to music while walking?
