The Why of Desmond
"Many of you think Desmond’s hit-and-run was an attempt to jar Island Locke’s mind loose. Couldn’t Desmond have utilized a less illegal means of inflicting epiphany? And why so public? Why not hit Locke over the head with a hammer in a dark alley? But perhaps Desmond was going for a two-for-one. After all, Desmond’s violence was also a traumatic event for eyewitness Ben; perhaps Des was trying to shock Island Ben’s mind to the forefront of consciousness, too? And if Sideways Locke is en route to Sideways Jack’s operation room, maybe it’ll be a for three-for-one, too."

I am fairly sure we haven't discussed this possibility... Go to it!
I think this theory has merit. I had not thought about the hit-and-run being traumatic for Ben also, but it could definitely explain (if not justify) Desmond's sudden homocidal tendencies.
I apologize if this is redundant...
