Will Paul Pelosi lose his license sometime in July after his little hit-and-run incident?

Paul Pelosi, the 86-year-old husband of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, was involved in a hit-and-run incident in Yountville, in Napa County, California, in early July 2026, when a witness reported his convertible struck a parked, unoccupied vehicle before continuing on; his own car was later found disabled nearby. The Napa County Sheriff's Office identified him as the driver and referred a misdemeanor hit-and-run charge to the district attorney's office. He was not arrested, and authorities said alcohol did not appear to be a factor.
Rather than suspending his license, the sheriff's office referred Pelosi for a routine driving re-evaluation through California's motor vehicle agency, a step it described as standard practice for older drivers involved in collisions. A Pelosi spokesperson said he had personally apologized to the other vehicle's owner and would cover the damage.
No license suspension or revocation occurred in July. The community put only a 23% chance on Pelosi losing his license, correctly anticipating the incident would be handled as a low-level citation and referral rather than a license action.
