How to not get so angry at other people?

Don't take it personally Hillbilly. They disrespect everyone on the highway equally. What they "think" is what they want to think, subject to change on a moments notice. And not necessarily related to driving.

I heard someone sum it up like this,.....

In Europe, they teach how to drive.
In America they teach how to pass the test.

Even with only a few years drivin' a Big truck, and seein' things hard to imagine let alone believe, I'm thinkin' there's quite a bit of truth contained therein.

Drugs would be easier to fix than those who don't need drugs or anything, because what they do comes naturally.

I'd bet a lot of what you've encountered out there would make for some good trucker tales. It seems that the worst experienced become the best tales.

How does one tell the difference between a fairy tale and a trucker tale?
Well,.......
The fairy tale starts out,
Once upon a time,-----
The trucker tale starts out,
Ya'll ain't gonna believe this .....

 

Breathing exercises and meditation

I found that every time I lose my temper, I stop breathing. Because of meditation and breathing exercises I notice that I'm not breathing, so I know to take some deep breaths and let the anger pass.

Even the Dali Lama claims to experience anger on occasion.
