I think the human shield argument works. If they crash into somebody and it stops the car, they're no longer moving so they're not gonna kill you. This only works when they stop after their first kill. If they just keep going and killing people all night GTA style, then we're all still fucked.

 

That would only work if drunk driving ALWAYS resorted in hitting people, or even did most of the time. 


Think of it this way.   Say your playing drunk driving dungeons and dragons.  Good old DDD&D.

Say you and an immigrant each have a 1 in 20chance of getting hit by a drunk driver... by rolling a D20.

The chances you both are going to rol that critical miss are 1/400.

So then there are 3 drunk drivers... two regular, one an immigrant.

Your chance of rolling that critical miss are now 3/20 - 1/400... so  = 59/400.

 

Now say you have a 1 in 20 chance being hit by a drunk driver.  and there are two on the street.

2/20 = 40/400.

EXCEPT the number is even worse then before with the first number, since you would have to roll initative vs the illegal immigrant to see who was out first... and going to be hit by the Drunk Driver.  So it'd really be more like 119/800 vs 80/800.
