I need advice about a man with terrible driving manners. He’s really into cars—his hobby is racing at circuits, and he shows up in a different foreign car every time. We usually get around by car on dates and occasionally go for drives.
This content is machine-translated.
Because he’s confident in his driving skills, he ignores the speed limit and drives on regular roads at speeds you’d expect on a highway. He’ll suddenly accelerate, and the bag on my lap has even gone flying.
When I tell him I’m scared and ask him to slow down, he laughs and says I’m too timid, then has actually sped up even more. I was genuinely furious.
Also, the other day, he ordered a drink with our meal, so I asked what he planned to do about driving. He laughed again and said, “One drink is fine. You worry too much, ◯◯-chan.”
Whenever I meet him, I head out on the date praying that we won’t get into an accident. But I don’t have any other papas, so I’m planning to continue seeing him until I find someone new…
Whenever I lightly point it out, he just laughs it off. If I seriously warn a man like this, do you think he’ll cut me off?

It sounds like you’d better say goodbye before this turns into a charge of dangerous driving causing death or injury. I believe passengers may also be held criminally liable. Please be careful.

Even people who drive on circuits and properly get their licenses before entering races tend to have good manners.
Maybe he’s the type who’s satisfied just doing sport driving because he wants to drive an imported car.
Are you with Universe?
Report him to the club and have them terminate his membership for drunk driving.

Please report this to the club.
At Universe Club, drunk driving results in immediate expulsion. Here, “drunk driving” includes driving under the influence, not just legally defined intoxicated driving. So even if he has only one drink, he will be expelled if he drives afterward.
You may not need to report it right away, but if you know the time, restaurant name, car model, and so on, the restaurant staff may be able to confirm what happened even if he insists he wasn’t drinking. I don’t think he’ll be able to make excuses.
> If I seriously warn a man like this, do you think he’ll cut me off?
I feel like he might. But your life is more important, so I think you should warn him.
That said, even if he doesn’t cut you off directly, the relationship itself may end, so you’ll need to be prepared for that possibility.

I’m Dai, a male member.
What are you talking about when you say that seriously warning a man who drives drunk or speeds excessively might get you dropped?
Especially when it comes to drunk driving, if you don’t stop him, you could also be held liable as a passenger.
It’s not simply a matter of whether an accident occurs.
Have you ever thought about how the families of accident victims feel?
