Aggressive driving

Hi Everyone,
My husband and I are really not in a good place right now.
Here is another issue I want to throw up for discussion as my previous threads were all extremely helpful to me. Thanks a bunch. It is very much appreciated.
My husband is a very aggressive driver. His attitude is such that he has to pass a person whose driving he does not like. Needless to say he is always passing someone. He never just gets into a lane and drives. He constantly weaves from lane to lane and never drives the speed limit. I am the opposite and very defensive.
Several situations happened in the past where we almost crashed. Rolling down windows and yelling at other drivers is very common as well.
We had a huge fight on Saturday on out way to a friend's bbq. He wanted to change lanes, he signaled but people did not let him merge. So he got all pissed off, chased one of them , honked, gave him a finger. Then he floored the gas pedal. I've asked him if he was racing, and he said 'yes' (sarcastically). I got mad and asked him why he keeps putting me in these situations. He response was 'didn't you see what happened? these people don't know how to drive. whenever I drive nicely I always get cut off.' I honestly don't even know how to respond to excuses like that as they don't make any sense to me. He seems to always manage to find the biggest jerks on the road and get into altercations with them. This scares me. I have told him many many times. Most of the times my hearts starts to beat so fast I feel like I get panic attacks.
Other people commented as well especially my mother. Once three of us were in the car, and he was driving his usual way. Both of us were continually asking him to drive nicer, and he was just ignoring us.
So this Saturday I got so fed up, I decided to not get in the car with him driving at least for some time. But this is really not a solution as I don't like driving myself as I get anxious. And I feel like my anxiety comes from his driving behaviour as often I get all shaky as soon as I get in the car.
Please let me know what you think and what would you do. I would especially appreciate opinions of guys who tend to be aggressive behind the wheel. What would it take for you to slow down?
Thanks
