When I was younger, I did my bit to further the road rage cause. I actually threw a coffee cup at another car, bounced if off his windshield, because he pissed me off. Two or three minutes later, I realized that this was no way to live, and no matter what was going on in my life, that's no excuse. Even though he was a moron, an idiot, etc, there was a simple way for me to deal with it - ignore him, and give him plenty of room.
There are still times when I have to 'talk myself down' to avoid getting upset by other drivers, but I try to just go on my way and give the morons lots of room. The last time I almost did something was when I stopped at a crosswalk, where the crossing guard was about to let a couple of 8 year olds cross the street. The guy behind me started screaming at me, demanding to know why I'd stopped. I was very tempted to get out of the car carrying the hammer that was sitting on the seat, but I settled for sharing a laugh with the crossing guard. Life's too short.
