Ok, I see what you're driving at...

Let's call it a predisposition or temperament then. For me, it's more a choice to be tolerant and not bothered. I'll simply continue to drive defensively, and that will be that.

I might be slightly irritated if you invade my personal space (ie cut me off), but, I don't see any reason to be vengeful or vindictive.
