I don't really do the stress stuff when out on the road. Once you get behind the wheel of a car, you need to accept that there are bad drivers, and simply deal with it. Life's too short to be stressing.
I've found that whenever I'm out in the Beemer, I'm tailgated a lot, and oddly enough, mostly by Audi drivers. Yesterday, I was chased, run-down, tailgated by a green Audi A8 pre-facelift, R**5JDU in Barking. Most of the time, it was so close the headlamps disappeared from view. All the way through the A406. Even when I moved over, he moved with me.
This morning, I was cut-up by a black Audi A7 3,0 TDI, FL60DUU on the A12. I pulled back, and let him go, only for him to slow down, and slam on the brakes every so often. I just kept my cool, and let him hare off into the distance, undertaking and weaving as he went.
Conversely, there seem to be less nutcases amongst drivers of the non-premium brands. More courteous, they tend to give way more often. Most Audi drivers, on the other hand are often rude, aggressive and arrogant, with TT drivers being the worst!
Still, it's all about self-control. If you let things get to you, you'll either get into fights, or raise your blood pressure considerably.
