Is the DB worth a second thought............definitely not...........but, I'll be secretly hoping that he runs smack into a guardrail anyway.

I call that an attempt to control your emotions............but you will not have success in that endeavor, despite your claims.
I'm going to disagree with this. You can make a subconscious choice to get angry or not. If you simply don't let it bother you, it won't.
