Yes it’s very interesting however they need to consider a few things first. Like if the driver is convicted, he will most likely go to jail for 5-15 years. They can’t pay child support from jail. And another issue is what if the driver is someone who is young and has no job and money. Or someone old without money.
But someone has to take responsibility for killing an innocent person because of their intentional act of getting intoxicated. That is why it is said if you are drunk don't drive and if you are driving don't drink. So if such order is violated it becomes intentional action and someone has to take responsibility for that. The policy is a good one to caution people who are fund of being drunk while driving and to cover the responsibility of the lost in the family. Anyway maybe a little more on the policy to ensure it covers all aspects.
This would obviously work out if the driver was someone rich however most people are not rich. Generally when this happens it’s usually the insurance company of the drunk driver that would cover some damages. And maybe if the father had some type of life insurance policy.
In this I think every driving license should be tied to an insurance policy for the insurance company to take care of such killing of innocent people and the people left behind.
