After a drink driver hit and hospitalised myself and my family last year, I would be delighted to know that any monies being paid out to us, is going to be promptly charged to him.
If he has to sell his house, his car, and give up on a few luxuries in life to pay that, then so be it.
How often is a bill sent by an insurer, to cover their liabilities to the third party? In the case of drink driving, there is no excuse, so in 100% of cases I hope.
