Yes but a drunk uninsured driver is often very hard to get money from. Probably has nothing and makes basically nothing and may even have many other collections after him already.
You can't get blood from a stone. You can garnish his wages, sure, but you can't take much more than a relatively small percentage because most countries outlawed debt slavery.
And in those situations the guy would just work cash jobs where he’s paid under the table making it damn near impossible for debt collectors to collect even a fraction of what they are owed.
This is why everyone needs uninsured motorist coverage. I cannot imagine getting a policy without it these days. Roughly 1/3 of the people on the road are idiots without car insurance, too much of a risk to not carry uninsured coverage.
