We all hit a boiling point with traffic, work stress, etc. It takes 2 drivers to cause an incident, I've had my share of altercations and it''s just not worth it. Lately I find that when I feel the urge to flip someone the bird, I just whip out the peace sign...

This confuses people and diffuses the situation a majority of the time.
I agree. When someone cuts me off I pretty much ignore them unless it was a situation where I was almost completely wiped out. For some reason, I am OFTEN in a situation where I am cut off and someone almost causes a really bad accident. Although I'm under tons of stress running two corporations, singing in a group, playing softball, and a bit irritated I do not have much time to do things most normal 32 year olds do, I manage to keep my stress in the appropriate places and totally do nothing about it 99% of the time. That is, when the person cuts me off, I go around and pass them without even giving them a glance. Trust me, it will make your day so much better and less stressful!
