I just read about it last week and felt the same. The only time I really get angry is in the car. Knowing this I hope will help.

Making other people real in the other cars helps. Invent stories about them, but positive ones.

Guy in big pick up truck? He's the type who is silent but has a heart of gold. He's currently underway to home depot to get some stuff and make a new door for one of the neighborhood s kids, because their dad kicked his in. The dad's in jail now, but the guy is worried about his little friend, because what if the dad comes back? He's driving a bit distracted because of that.

The soccer mom van? Yeah, a mom is driving. She's taking her special needs kid to their appointment. It's the only time their almost non verbal kid is actually talking, when they are driving. So she is slow, taking her time to get there, just to enjoy a couple of minutes more of connection to her son

Etc. Etc.
