I treat stupidity and consideration on the road the same way I treat my 3 year old's behaviour. Only praise the good, ignore the bad. Just call me Supernanny. I ostentatiously wave and 'cheers' and thank anyone who seems to be aware of my existence on the road and behaves with consideration. I do tend to mutter 'cunt' at some people but I think getting all pissed off and shouty does make you look like a twat and raises your heart rate. I got this approach from commuting by long skateboard for some years, where I was the target of much more ire than as a cyclist. Nobody likes a longboarder.
