If he's drunk, surely they'll say that cancels the insurance?

Alas, no. His insurance with respect to 3rd party liabilities remains intact regardless of how he behaves. However, they can and usually do tell them to nob off when it comes to claiming for their own car or injuries.

I expect the bill will run into millions, and his insurers will be none too chuffed.

I suppose that means that other people don't have to suffer the (financial) consequences of his actions, except the insurance company, anyway.

the insurance companies - who will use this to justify putting up everyone's premiums

funny how bog businesses never seem to suffer

If was DUI, hopefully. I'm guessing he isn't having a good day today either way.

Au contraire. Being very, very drunk is definitely one of the less painful ways to experience a crash like that!

Mainly because that is what their business is. A bit like complaining that the local flower shop makes money by selling flowers. Or that the casino in town makes money from gambling punters.
