We all get hassled by the frustrated motorists who don't believe we have a right to "their" road. I try to be completely deaf and dumb and give NO reaction, which is the only one that can minimize escalation to road rage (yes, smiling and waving can also be perceived as an escalation by some morons). But you will certainly find posts from me where I lost it, especially the one where I chased the guy down and tried to politely admonish him only to be confronted with anger and aggression.

Almost every time I've been buzzed, I will watch as that driver aggressively changes lanes and speeds off, endangering the other motorists as they disappear. The bottom line is these people are impatient, and they drive impatiently, which means they are endangering everyone.

Just try to remind yourself that for every abusive motorist out there, there were ten cars before them which passed you safely and considerately. It also helps to believe in karma: they will eventually suffer the consequences of their impatient and aggressive lifestyle. All we can do is hope we aren't the particular victim which brings that karma upon them.
