I like this one and try to practice it when possible...
Let me say that there are also plenty of assholes behind the wheel.
Good people, sure- but different creatures when behind the wheel. I remember two instances of coming home after a beautiful yoga practice. In the one instance, a man behind me at a red light was intentionally trying to stir me by inching ever so close to my bumper- so close that his car was just touching my car. When the light went green he brushed his car against mine, gave me the bird and started yelling out his window. I still haven't a clue as to why.
In another I remember seeing a man in front of me get angry because I was looking at him. He kept staring at me through his rear view- for whatever reason. Our eyes locked and he started going crazy. I remember the scene vividly because I was coming home from yoga listening to this beautiful music and I had this epiphany about choice. I could choose to be angry and follow this guy like a magnet or I could choose to continue to enjoy the music in my car- while this man would be left to his own disproportionate rage. It was almost painted out to me like a cartoon. Here is this angry cloud in one car- and the mans face red and brainwaves shortened and excited- and here was this light blue cloud in another, with peaceful music playing and slow brainwaves moving about. I gently hit my brakes and let him carry on. It was rather comical...
Yes I also know people think they own the road here- sometimes those who don't understand basic road etiquette get angry when others don't obey- obey what you might ask? Well whatever skewed understanding these folks think they have about road courtesies- never mind what they teach you in drivers ed. My high school principle lost his son because some guy was angry and it was simply put that the angry guy did not understand basic rules for driving. This guy killed the principles son by getting out of his car and shooting him.
This is taking the example you've shared and putting it in reverse. Although I have been guilty of getting angry at people who behave rudely on the road- I practice not letting it get to me anymore. I've seen where taking it can lead you- having my life threatened on multiple occasions. But looking at the example provided- reckless driving is still reckless driving. Nothing about understanding reckless driving is an error in ones thinking- and reckless driving often angers people, whether your wife is pregnant or not. Seems everyone could work on their anger when behind the wheel-
