or...
1. Pull over.
2. Let said raging fool pass by.

I personally like to use a variation of the two.
Here's a quote..on anger leads hate to..which can lead to road rage../end yoda talk.
Anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything on which it is poured. -Mark Twain
Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.
- Buddha
Not being flippant...but feel free to jot down the quotes in my thread or you find on your own, an put them on post it notes, an keep them in the car, or where ever you need them. Not just the anger ones, but all kinds. Quotes can do many things...excite, relax, make thoughtful, questioning, warm, fuzzy, love, etc.
Silly I know but hey..I do it, an it seems to work for me.
Good luck an don't beat yourself up to much..we're all human and NONE OF US ARE PERFECT. Sorry for yelling, but a reminder helps folks to remember their human.
*all yous are general and not directed at anyone in particular. The above suggestion of post it notes, works for remembering to not get angry, to laugh, an many other things. More people need that reminder then I care to admit.
Sirscrapalot - Every day we have plenty of opportunities to get angry, stressed or offended. But what you're doing when you indulge these negative emotions is giving something outside yourself power over your happiness. You can choose to not let little things upset you. - Joel Osteen...not someone I will normally quote, but he does have a point.
