Cardella v. Robinson5/13/2005
or "designated drivers" who offer rides to persons who are too intoxicated to drive. If faced with dire legal consequences such as the present lawsuit, drivers might be less willing to offer assistance to inebriated persons. Also, we must consider the burden this would place upon drivers of common carriers to police the conduct of their adult passengers once they have left the vehicle. We are mindful of the potential for a substantial increase in the flow of litigation that imposition of such a duty might precipitate.
Like the trial court, we find that the law does not impose upon a driver a duty to other motorists to physically prevent an insistent, intoxicated adult from exiting his vehicle.
CONCLUSION
The judgment of the trial court is affirmed. Costs are assessed against the plaintiff/appellant, Charles P. Cardella.
AFFIRMED.
