Narcissist Behavior Q&A
🚗 They drive recklessly to scare me in the car
That's using the car itself to instill fear. Inside a moving car, avoiding a serious crash comes before everything.
The short answer
Scaring you with sudden acceleration and hard braking can seriously injure everyone in the car.
When this happens, try this
- Inside the moving car, avoid provoking them — calmly ask them to pull over somewhere safe where there are people.
- If a crash feels imminent, call 911 and give your current location and the license plate immediately.
Scenes like this
- You said you wanted out, and they drove faster.
- Mid-argument, they jerked the wheel toward oncoming traffic.
How to tell the difference
Being a clumsy driver is completely different from driving dangerously after you've asked to get out.
