I went through a period of getting agro, banging on every car roof that came within a foot of me, etc... then one day I reaslised I'd lost the love of riding and was in complete survival mode. From that day I accepted that everyone on the road was probably going to do something that was going to upset me, slowed up a bit, rode defensively and learned to let things go. Now I'll sometimes have a chat with a driver if they give me a really near miss, usually try and be nice about it and generally find they are really apologetic and take on board the need to look out for cyclists.
