As a twenty-something, I've only recently figured this out (I would say within the last 5 years), and I can say that life is much more enjoyable when you learn to recognize things you can't change by getting upset, and let them go. Driving on the road with a-holes is indeed at the top of this list. It is also much easier to be empathetic and see someone else's side when you're able to keep a level head. One rule I made for myself a couple years ago is that I try not to argue with anyone unless I can argue their side first. By that time, it's no longer a potential argument, but rather a discussion.
