The Behavioral Impact of Drinking and Driving Laws by Bertelli and Rich

A few years ago, my family and I had a drunk number one wood crash through our front yard. This person snap up grass, destruct pine tree, and broke numerous lawn ornaments. Less than twenty dollar bill minutes before this drunk number one wood went through our yard, my mom and I had been walking our dogs, and if the drunk driver had gone through any earlier, my mom and I both would have been hit. This driver also destroyed a garbage barrel, and almost slammed into an electrical pole. In a way, the drunk driver had been lucky when he went through our yard, especially when we had just taken a gigantic walnut tree out of our yard two or three years prior. The driver also had two passengers with him, a woman, and a small child. The child passenger had been unbuckled, and amazingly, was not thrown from the rear of the vehicle. afterwards going through our yard, the drunk driver had oil leaking from his car, at least(prenominal) two flat tires, and damage to the front of his car. Eventually, the drunk driver was caught by the police, and placed in jail. The insurance company that represents my family assessed the damage done, and said that the hail cost of the damage would equal almost two thousand dollars. The driver was only required to pay my family three hundred dollars and nothing more than this sum up. After receiving this amount, my family and I never heard anything else about the driver who had destroyed our yard, and have not received any other dollar amount since that incident. Looking back on this, I wonder if there is anything that allows a drunk driver to be sued for destroying a persons property.In the article, The Behavioral Impact of Drinking and Driving Laws by Bertelli and Richardson Jr. (2008), the authors take aim the statement that drive under the... ...Policy Studies Journal, 36(4), 545-569. inside10.1111/j.1541-0072.2008.00283.xCarpenter, C.
