I have always regretted getting into shouting matches/fights for road incidents...the reason being that usually when someone has done something wrong and you have a go at them, they get on the defensive and say it was all your fault...the injustice of this riles me so much that I end up thinking about it for the rest of my ride, going through things in my head that I wish Id done...riding in a peaceful state of mind is of course more enjoyable...
the other reason is that I am a good disser, but a poor fighter...so I can easily get someone pissed and yet cannot easily back myself up...so starting args is unwise for me...
having said that, when someone fucks you over on the road, its near impossible to stop yourself from having a go - you just want the wrongs to be righted...
I try to be pretty zen these days...
