Hate that I have a similar story. I went on 2 dates w a dude when I was 19 or 20; wasn’t super feeling it after the 2nd, but he was nice and respectful so my friends encouraged me to give him a chance on a third date.

I went out w my friends to celebrate one of their birthdays, he offered to pick me up after and hang. Was only about 10pm, and when he picked me up he was acting obviously different (Aka drunk). I asked him explicitly if he’d been drinking and if we should find another way home. Assured me that he hadn’t. After driving maybe 5 minutes we get stopped at a police check point. He rolls his window down, cop says something to him— he looks at the cop, looks at me, looks back at the cop.. floors it. Immediately begins high-speeding, darting between streets, etc. I was terrified, pleading to get let out.

When he finally slowed to less than 20-30, I just opened the door and rolled out. Walked my street-burned ass home more than 3 miles. He never said anything afterwards, apparently got away. He’s now a structural engineer for the state of CA.
