What can we do to improve courtesy on the roads?

There's no doubt about it. Most of the british public are well naffed off just now and its being seen in people's driving. We've seen it last week in the rage caused at the pumps and we see it more often with tailgating, cutting up and people refusing to acknowledge other drivers even exist. This morning I waited patiently on two occasions for people to pass on roads where there were cars parked down both sides and they didnt even seem to know I was there. What can we do about this? I mean there are penalty points for bad driving, but do we need a national campaign to reward friendly drivers?! A "no rage" bonus perhaps?
