what the fuck is wrong with both drivers and pedestrians these days.. it's simple, if you're on a motorway or main road, find a safe way to cross or continue walking until you do find a pass-over. I'm living in Malta at the moment, and its common to have people drive home after 5-6 hours drinking in clubs, yet accidents are in the miniscule numbers, let a lone fatalities. Something really needs to be done to keep people off the roads until they have the common sense and are responsible to sit behind the wheel of the car. I feel sorry for the poor man who lost his life here, but it's down to a failure in the Irish road safety system more than any individual person.
