Road Rage
People are so angry on the roads these days I tend to smile and not let them get to me (although when in a rush I've been know to make the odd curse!). I'm wondering what tactics people use to keep calm when being provoked.
Here's a nice little metaphor I stumbled across:
Imagine you have two routes to drive to work. Route One is smooth and safe. Route Two is littered with nails and broken bottles and normally requires you to stop at least once to change a wheel because of a puncture.
But over the years you're used to travelling down Route Two - you've been doing it for so long you've forgotten that there is a different way! So you keep doing it and, to try and make the trip to work easier and quicker you attend classes on how to change wheels and mend punctures more quickly and efficiently.
Wouldn't it be better to learn how to take Route One?
