A man hit on a zebra crossing by a heavy truck (44tons). The body is under one of the truck middle wheels. The driver was under the influence of cannabis. Different drugs impair people differently. Any illegal drug may cause the following reactions: slowing of reaction time, alteration of depth perception, reduction of peripheral vision, confusion, drowsiness, and lack of awareness of surroundings. All these reactions may be useful or vital when driving. On the one hand, dangers of driving after using cannabis are due to longer response times to events or situations and possibly choosing an inappropriate response, the inability to think clearly and to pay attention to other road users, and blurred vision. On the other hand, ecstasy can cause blurred vision and distorts visual perception, making it difficult to judge distances. Ecstasy is a stimulant drug and gives a driver a false sense of confidence, energy, and power. It may impair judgment and increase risk-taking behavior, such as more aggressive driving, decreasing the ability to coordinate the appropriate reaction while driving.
