Nah, road rage is always the same. One person wants to drive one way, another person drives another way and they both escalate it, sometimes subtly and say "I didn't do anything!"

Here's some tips.

Do not use the fast lane as a travel lane. If you're passing a line of cars then think "I'll just stay in this lane and pass those cars 1/4 mile up there too" that's incorrect, especially if anyone is behind you. You pass and you get out of the fast lane immediately.

Do not beep.

Do not rudely gesture.

Do not aggressively drive, like braking unnecessarily or jerking your steering wheel to intimidate.

Do not flash your lights or keep high beams on.

Drive the speed limit in travel lanes.

Do not try to merge when no one is allowing you to. You WILL miss your exit, or you WILL wait and yield and you WILL just deal with it.

When you're driving, become a tranquil cow on a beautiful pasture that's being milked by a farmer with soft hands.

Keep your ego at your destinations. If someone does something to you, let it go, immediately.

It's a great recipe to sharply reduce any kind of confrontation.
