I've had a longggg week finalising report writing for my students and had barely slept. Saturday I was meeting his parents for the first time. He drives us there. Takes about an hour. But.

Halfway there we were stopped at a red light. The light was still red, at a major intersection, when he just started driving straight through it! What the hell. I thought as I realised he was over the line (I was stunned and frozen) if I shout out right now he might slam on brakes in the middle of the intersection. When he'd just got through I screamed at him - "What the hell were you thinking!?!?!? You've just gone through a red light!!" I was still in disbelief.

And angry at his very first comment ... "Oh I didn't see a camera" WHAT What about my kids! I told him it has NOTHING to do with whether or not there was a camera and he gets a fine.

And it's not the first time in 3 months he's been in seriously crazy "car" things.

Once he almost swiped a pedestrian crossing a road where the pedestrian had right of way and I had to yell out to him to stop.

Another time he turned right where he should have stopped with an oncoming car already travelling - we would totally have T-boned the car. His response? "I didn't even see the car coming".

He's always done the driving when we've gone out. But I'm now ready to tell him - sorry, I'm just too nervous to be a passenger in your car. Do you mind if I take over the driving when we go out? I don't want to offend him. I had to "downplay" it because as soon as we got to the venue I had to meet his parents and I was worried his parents may get the wrong impression of me if they knew we'd just had a spat on our way there (we've never had an argument).

Should I tell him (I basically don't want to get in his car ever again?!
