After a few miles realized that all he had to do was slam on the brakes, and I'd either be hurt or worse. Very stupid to get mad on a bike. Now if that happens to me, I just let it go. Maybe I did something without realizing it (who hasn't?) or maybe the person is just having one of those days where they thought I did something.
I've calmed down considerably when it comes to my anger. Especially when it comes to road rage. Ten times out of ten (at least in my experience) the person who gets road rage and starts acting like a jackass usually ends up being many times more of a jackass and much more dangerous than the person who "started it". I put "started it" in quotes because it's usually a simple mistake, rather than something intentional.
Yes one should not let the douschbags on the road turn you into a douschbag... Just fly the bird and continue on.
