What if the drunk driver asks for too much compensation?

The handling methods for drunk drivers to claim excessive compensation are as follows:

1. Know relevant laws and regulations: You need to know relevant laws, regulations and precedents to determine your rights and responsibilities and respond to the other party's requirements reasonably.

2. Negotiation: You can negotiate with the other party and try to reach a compensation agreement acceptable to both parties. In the process of negotiation, we should keep calm and objective, rationally analyze the accident responsibility and compensation amount, and minimize the pressure of compensation amount.

3. Seek professional help: If you can't meet the requirements of the other party, you can seek professional help, such as lawyers and insurance companies.

4. Litigation settlement: If negotiation fails, the dispute can be settled through legal means.

The penalties for drunk driving are as follows:

1, driving after drinking, the motor vehicle driver's license shall be revoked, and it is forbidden to obtain a motor vehicle driver's license again for life;

2, causing traffic accidents, which constitute a crime, shall be investigated for criminal responsibility according to law;

3. If there is no traffic accident, but the blood alcohol content reaches the standard of criminal offence, criminal responsibility shall be investigated according to law;

4. If there is no traffic accident, but the alcohol content in the blood reaches the standard of administrative punishment, the motor vehicle driver's license shall be revoked according to law and the time limit for regaining the motor vehicle driver's license shall be limited;

5. If the alcohol content in the blood does not reach the standard of administrative punishment, administrative punishment such as fine, temporary suspension of motor vehicle driving license or detention may be imposed.

To sum up, drunk driving is a serious traffic violation, which will not only cause serious harm to life and property of yourself and others, but also bear corresponding legal responsibilities and compensation responsibilities. Therefore, we should develop good traffic safety awareness and behavior habits at ordinary times to avoid illegal behaviors such as drunk driving.
