My boyfriend Blake has the worst road rage. We are both 23. Anyway, it really scares me. For example, we were in his truck coming home earlier from the movies and dancing, etc. and he got cut off by this guy, and instead of just letting it go, he got really aggressive, sped up and tried to ride the guys bumper, then he kept honking his horn at this guy, and then started swearing and yelling at him, and I honestly feared for our lives. We could have been shot because my boyfriend can't control his road rage. I'm just glad that he doesn't keep a gun in his truck. It wasn't just tonight, every time I get in his truck, or even when he drives my Jetta, he gets really really bad road rage. He swears really bad at other drivers, and he starts driving erratically and speeding really bad. He's only like this when he's behind the wheel.
I tell him he needs to calm down or pull over and let me drive, and he just starts yelling at me, saying he is "f***ing capable of driving, thats why I have a license too". Its not just me who he's scared with his anger while driving, he's even freaked out his own mom and grandma before when he took us all somewhere the other week. He has even nearly rolled his truck before trying to catch up to someone who cut him off once. He tried to cut them off too. When he honks the horn too, he doesn't just honk it really quick, its like he honks it for 5 minutes. I love my boyfriend, but I'm getting more and more scared to get in the same vehicle as him when he drives. We live in Dallas, so gun ownership is a big thing here in Texas, and I'm really scared he's gonna get shot, or hurt someone in the process. He really scares me when he's driving. Its getting worse every time. He over reacts over every little thing. How can I get him to control his road rage?
