I noticed that I've been getting far less grief lately since I'm more relaxed about bad drivers.
The usual scenario is a driver is pissed off I'm taking up the primary position will tailgate me, rev, honk and eventually accelerate and cut me up. When I catch up to them at the lights the driver is usually expecting you to look at them, confront them, or yell at them. I can't be bothered giving them the satisfaction. If you bring up someone's driving behaviour they will almost always get defensive and blame you no matter what.
If I do decide to confront someone I think I'm just going to start having a nice friendly chat with them instead... they won't expect that.
