Just gotta say, my feeling is that the main contributing factor to 'road rage' is that we look at other cars, as CARS, not as people....

Do not ever forget, that the guy in that car may have a family, too, hell, he may even ride a bike from time to time...

See them as objects? Animals? Rearry? That's messed up...
I'd have to go along with what he said...

"s*** happens", quite possibly the greatest words ever spoken if you ask me.
What someone else does is completely out of your control, so why dwell on it and let it get to you?
People make mistakes, no one is perfect.

Every time I have a close call with a car while on my bike,
I don't think "that arfing arffer mother arf of a arffing arf" etc etc.
Instead I think of how I could have avoided that situation. What I could have done better and so on.

I think you should read this topic I started here,

Somewhat relates to this topic, or at least related to what is (imo) part of the solution.
