On Saturday, Breitbart posted an article about the charges filed against Paul Pelosi for a recent hit-and-run accident.

The article reports:

Paul Pelosi’s shockingly bad driving record appears to have finally caught up with him and could result in a substantial jail sentence if he is convicted.

The 86-year-old husband of former House speaker Nancy Pelosi was charged in a hit-and-run crash over the Fourth of July weekend in northern California wine country.

Napa County District Attorney Allison Haley filed charges against Pelosi Friday, violations that included one count of misdemeanor hit-and-run driving and one infraction for turning unlawfully, multiple news outlets reported.

The charge for leaving the scene of an accident where there was only property damage is punishable by up to six months in the county jail and a maximum fine of $1000.

The San Francisco-based venture capitalist, who has been married to former House speaker for more than 60 years, was also arrested in May of 2022 for DUI after crashing in Napa County. He pled guilty, served two days in jail instead of a possible five, and got three years probation in that case.

The article cites other incidents of accidents in Paul Pelosi’s past. At least he was not drinking at the time he hit the parked car, but the fact that he left the scene is troubling.

I realize that aging is a very personal thing and that not everyone ages at the same rate, but I am concerned that an 86-year-old with that bad a driving record is still driving.
