Got a question, feel like this would be the most appropriate place as if I start an entire thread for this I'll probably be (verbally) destroyed
Whenever I have 'oh shit' moments in virtue of automotive twattery, I find that for the first minute or so I'm rarely angry, because instead I just hold onto the 'oh shit' feeling (had a pretty big crash in the arse end of October so my confidence is still wobbly).
So my question is, is there a particular aspect of the incidents that you latch onto mentally to provoke instant anger? I always wind myself up by becoming angry at least 5 minutes after the cock-end that nearly took me out is probably long gone, and sit down when I get home thinking about all the things I SHOULD have said/done
Need to stand up for myself more whilst on the roads. It's strange as I've a history of anger troubles, they just never arise at the time of aforementioned twattery
