2862 Proposition 213 (CivC 3333.4) does not prevent the recovery of punitive damages by an uninsured motorist; the drunk driving exception contained in Proposition 213 requires a conviction for drunk driving and permits recovery only by the uninsured owner, not by the uninsured operator.CitationNAKAMURA v SUPERIOR COURT (Prop 213 Puni's) 83 CA4 825 [See:; Devlin v.
