Commentary:
Finding the whereabouts of this driver could sway the course of the investigation, depending on the facts at hand. How? Simply put, bars have a duty to the public at large to cut off anybody who displays obvious signs of intoxication. If a bar, liquor store, or club failed in their duty, they could be in some part liable for the accident right next to the driver. Bars are only going to see drunk drivers as a liability by holding bars liable for drunk drivers.
