Firstly your bf is not confident. Confidence means you're self-assured but know your limitations. He is over-confident, cocky, arrogant, ignorant and reckless. He over-estimates his abilities and this will surely get him in serious trouble.
I used to have a friend like him. The one time I rode with him-we were going to a friend's house party in another city and had to take a dangerous highway with many sharp bends and inclines-I learned that not only did he drink and drive but he drove like an absolute madman in an old beater car which he treated like a Formula 1 race car.
There have been some extremely rare incidents in my life where I felt sheer terror and fear and this was one of them and I'm definitely not a guy who scares easily.
After that experience, I found out all I needed to know about this character and cut him off for good. A year or so later I heard through a mutual friend that he died when his car smashed into a telephone pole, I'll spare you the gory details.
In the back of my mind, I knew I would've died also had I been in the car with him that day, but it could've just as easily happened the one time I rode with him had he lost control of the car. He had it coming and in a macabre way, it's nice to see Darwinism at work.
Your bf also sounds like an alcoholic and he's too cocksure of himself, doesn't listen to anyone. He's going to mess up big time someday and realize what an ass he's been and regret his behavior. But you don't have to be there when that happens. Why put up with this douchebag, there's plenty of fish in the sea as they say.
By the way, I've had other close calls on the road-people develop a false sense of security but bad things can happen in an instant, so best to play it safe and cautious. All the stuff they say about 'arrive alive' etc, might be hokey but it's true.
