NYT: Paul Pelosi had multiple traffic violations before Napa crash
Two insane things: 1) Paul Pelosi had an accident as a teen that killed his 19 yo brother. And he still drove recklessly. 2) The Pelosis are verrrrrry rich. They could have a fleet of personalized drivers to make sure PP never drives again. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/16/u...
Clara Jeffery123You're a reckless driver. Your wife is one of the most high-profile people in the country. You suffered a brutal head injury from an assailant. And you can easily afford a 24/7 personal driver. And yet...
Crab Claw53) Paul Pelosi was the victim of a hammer attack that could possibly have impaired his judgment.
deflanders.bsky.social2No matter how much money they have an elderly person having to give up driving is very painful.
Andrew W1The state should take that decision away from them - give up the keys.
I’m interested in that accident with his brother. It says a jury cleared him, which means he was indicted. So there is more of a story there than a tragic accident, even if it is ancient history.
gamera obscura46Rich people are so fucking weird.
MarkG3If I was that wealthy, one of the first things I would cross off my list is having to drive myself anywhere. Hell, I'm not wealthy at all and I'm on my way.

Liz as in lizard 🏳️⚧️2How the fuck you get rich and not hire a driver? You get all the fun of owning a car and don’t have to fuck with driving. Man just loves smashing into stuff
There’s a reason the government needs to re-administer driving tests after a certain age. You cannot trust friends and family to police this stuff.
Brendan Dawe9Feels like something that’s going to get harder and harder to do too as this becomes more of the electorate
Joyce Park5My daddy is 86, and in my experience there are VERY few people who should be driving at that age. :( He has not driven since he was about 80 I think.
Marta O'Brien3Really, it's incredible that people can get a driver's licence in their teens & not be tested again 'til they're 80. Even then, in Ontario it's a vision test & written test for most. Never mind slower reactions etc. (I felt this way even before we were t-boned by 82-yr-old man in May).
Sam G2And the Pelosis can afford a driver for Paul, never mind that they have a *taxpayer funded* driver already for Nancy!
