i've been to hearings like this and seen people perjure themselves with
very little provocation or pay. it's not uncommon.

I'm not sure she perjured herself, but I'd bet she should NOT be behind
the wheel of a car. ANY car.

If you can't handle a situation like that, you shouldn't be driving. As I
said, she probably had it in "Sport" and didn't bring it back through the
gate into Neutral. That's the only way the car wouldn't stop in neutral.

And she must have gotten it stopped SOMEHOW, since she was there to tell
the tale.

Nah, that's the correct data pertaining to Global Warming...

oh, she's perjuring herself. i've seen this stuff many times - there's
a certain theatrical circus show to these things - and a cadre of
individuals that will show up and say the most blatantly untrue bullshit
in terms that make the average vaudevillian look like an amateur.

one case i saw, some dude showed up in a medial gown, with i.v. drips
taped to his arm testifying about some doctor saving his life. thing
was, this individual was shown not to be a patient of that doctor, nor
could he have been at the facility concerned. it was just theater
designed for show and to help sway a decision. i guess there's
out-of-work actors that need money /real/ bad.
