Don't do that here in the greater Detroit Mi area. You will be hit, shot or beaten and i am not joking.
I Like Annoying Aggressive Drivers

Start with the thread title .
Not so much to annoy, more for my own enjoyment about 25 years ago.
Working with John Deere. At that time, radar for ground speed was fairly new, We had to warranty a ground speed unit. Back then most of the speeders also had radar detectors in their vehicles. Guy I worked with had one in his Jeep. Decided on a whim to hook the unit to a battery to see it it would set his detector off, and it did!
I mounted it in the grill of my pickup and wired it to a switch. See an obvious speeder, hit my switch and watch the brakes slow his speed down very quickly. Got a few hours humor out of that little set up.

The thread title needs better grammar. It's hard to know if the OP meant, "I like annoyingly aggressive drivers," or "I like to annoy aggressive drivers." 
Do most people actually think jamming the gas and then brake repeatedly is "correct"? No, but the amount of replies here stating you'd better drive this way, just because someone else might get mad or cut you off diving into the smallest gap is telling.
If the majority are afraid to do the right thing, even as trivial as stop and go traffic, its not a great indicator for the level of trust and respect in their society, IMHO.
I don't consider driving smoothly while avoiding hard breaking to be anything other than responsible driving. If that makes somebody mad, tough cookies.
I agree that smooth driving is good driving.
Driving while always on either throttle or brake is not smooth and is not good driving.
Too many people drive this way and become irritated when the guy ahead of them coasts to a red light or doesn't accelerate briskly in stop and go traffic.
There are also too many people who act out their own feelings of inadequacy and powerlessness while driving. People who call you "sir" in personal interactions suddenly become great warriors when behind the wheel.
The driving experience is much worse today than it was twenty years ago.
This is partly due to increased traffic and partly due to the general lack of manners so common in our society these days, especially in situations like driving, where anonymity encourages bad behavior.

There is nothing that you can say at this point that will change anyone's mind here. It was best to reflect on your actions before you end up on the wrong side of the law for road rage.

Fair enough, but everyone. EVERYONE makes mistakes driving. So, my comment stands. Every situation is different. Everyone sees thing from a different point of view. OPs point of view? I can see some road rage happening.
I admit I drive over the speed limit and at the same time drive defensively.
I hate being in a pack of slower vehicles cause it gives me anxiety an accident is about to happen.
Some idiot causes a 6 car wreck like a NASCAR race.
On the Turnpike I’m usually at 90 mph (dry weather) ….. if the conditions are safe 100 is very common.

Same thing here around the Houston area. A seemingly normal person gets behind the wheel and turns into a crazy. I10 is a nightmare any time of the day.

I don't think I was good at communicating what I was trying to say. I think this covers it. That is what I meant. No one is perfect.
Hahaha, OP drives sensibly and correctly and suddenly he's a road rager. Guess I am also. My hero was the tortoise not the hare. I drive the speed limit plus 2-5% extra, depending. But I don't race anyone to get to that speed. Then I follow at a really sensible distance and mostly use coasting to regulate my speed. I have the newest brakes, per distance travelled, of anyone out there. And the least burned brake light bulbs. And congratulate the OP on driving so sensibly. And will continue calling to report those 25-30% over the limit, with as much of the license as old eyes can capture as they fly by and usually a good description. Safety first.

It must be state by state. Here we have to stop, many of the school busses are equipped with cameras on the arm that swings out with the stop sign and flashing lights. Don't stop and there's a real good chance you'll get pretty hefty fine in the mail.
It’s not his driving technique that is under scrutiny.
Go back and look at the thread title. He takes pleasure in annoying other drivers.
He determines who is right and who is wrong and then “punishes” those who he deems wrong.
Deliberately annoying other drivers is the crux of the issue, not his driving technique.
During an advanced emergency vehicle operator class we were taught that if you are being tailgated you should reduce your speed due to the fact that any sudden braking you may need to do may be met with the vehicle behind you pushing you and increasing your braking distance. As a general rule I am at or slightly above the posted limit but I will not speed up while being tailgated and often pull over to let the tailgater go by. Often we end up next to each other at the next light which is usually very funny for me.

Exactly. I don't care how well he drives. He flat out admits to wanting to annoy other drivers. Really no need for that.
Two wrongs don't make a right, especially when you are in car.
