I am at a loss to get my husband to drive more carefully. Many times I think that he is truly on "auto-pilot" and
doesn't realize that he is driving recklessly. He generally doesn't signal and switches lanes on the highway
very frequently. He always seems to want to "get ahead" of everyone else, even when we are not in a
hurry. He passes on a two lane road, many times to get ahead of more than one car. He occasionally makes
what I consider a dangerous left hand turn (and I am on the passenger side), so I am frightened that either
he will cause an accident, get me killed or someone else, or get himself killed in the process. I have threatened
to drive without him, but don't want to do that since we have always traveled together to most occasions. I love
my husband, but when I complain, he thinks that I am being too critical of his driving. I am at my wits end and don't
know what to do. Any suggestions? Please help. p.s. I have diagnosed inattentive
ADD and take medication. He has undiagnosed hyperactive ADD without medication.
Thanks,
HM, Potomac MD

He'd pass blindly with me and the baby in the car. I begged and pleaded and demanded that he never EVER do that again and he'd get mad at me!! And next time, he'd do it again. Repeat repeat and repeat......
Sorry, no advice. Just lots of anger and resentment.
