Road rage is turning me into someone I don’t like

I drive regularly in Hyderabad, and I’ve been dealing with something that’s really starting to bother me—not just about others, but about myself. There are so many situations on the road where people don’t follow basic rules—wrong direction driving, riding slowly on the right side while using their phone, blocking traffic, etc. If I honk (even lightly), some of them immediately get aggressive. They shout, argue, and in some cases even try to follow me for a bit. In the moment, I completely lose my temper. I argue back, shout, and get pulled into these pointless confrontations. Logically, I know it’s useless—these people either say “sorry” and move on or just disappear. Nothing actually gets solved. But the worst part is what happens after. I feel terrible. I feel like I wasted my time, energy, and peace of mind. I hate that I let random strangers affect me this much. I especially hate that I react so quickly and become someone I don’t like in those moments. I know I can’t fix how people behave on the road here. That’s out of my control. What I do want is to control my own reactions better—but right now, I’m clearly failing at that. Has anyone dealt with this kind of road rage or emotional trigger? How do you stay calm when people are being openly careless or aggressive? Especially when they provoke you directly? I’m not looking for “just ignore them” as a one-liner—I genuinely want to understand how to actually do that in the moment.
