How Do You Ask for Forgiveness?

To the guy I cut off today while driving, I'm very sorry.  I was in a lot of pain and fatigue from my post-10.5 mile run, looking into the sun, and obviously not thinking clearly.  I know you were pissed, I've been feeling bad about it ever since... But it has me wondering, how do you ask (and hopefully receive) forgiveness if you are in a similar situation?  Where what you did was an accident or unintentional, but you will probably never see the person you affected ever again? For now, I'm going to take the experience and learn from it.  I obviously need to be a more attentive driver, and avoid driving when I'm in a post-run/pain/fatigued kind of state.  I just wanted to get home so bad, I guess, to get my chores done and take a nap.  But it's not worth risking my life or someone else's!
