At the very least she does seem highly insecure -- in all seriousness, possibly family-related and now drug-exacerbated. (I know I'm speculating.)

...The truth about a person tends to leave room for sympathy. But right now, all I can think about is her dodging responsibility for a felony and giving the public the middle finger. I wonder if we'll ever truly know why.

I think most people are targeting her (supposedly) extreme aging in connection with a suspected drinking and/or drug problem, by far the most probable explanation for her behavior from the hit-and-run although she has explicitly denied it.

...Some comments are simply being sexist, I guess, but that's hardly the thrust.

She hit him, regardless of fault (which was mostly his). But I specifically included the word "after" (the collision) because the important thing is that she fled. Honestly I can't wait to hear her explanation in court -- God knows she's had much longer than the average felony suspect to think one up.

Because what he says "will happen" generally does not happen anywhere tried. Congestion on other streets tends to increase in the very short term, but habits change and volume decreases in the medium to long term.

Case in point: Amsterdam's gridlock literally looked like NYC's until it didn't. They made that change. And the traffic did not magically stay the same forever.
