During heavy fog, a fifty-car pile-up occurred on Interstate 5,
injuring many people. A California legislator introduced a bill to
allocate tax dollars to pay the medical expenses of injured drivers.
Which of the following arguments would the legislator be most
likely to make in favor of a bill establishing such a fund?
The bill is meant to hold the driver at the head of the pile-up morally
accountable.
The fund will be more efficient because additional resources will not
have to be spent to determine which, if any, of the drivers were at fault.
Establishing the fund will deter motorists from driving through fog.
The fund will prevent frivolous lawsuits.
The fund will allow those injured to receive punitive damages.
