I agree, except I would add that they should conform to our safety needs, i.e. pass us safely. I would expect drivers, especially those in smaller 4-wheel vehicles, to freak out at least a bit when a tractor-trailer passes a tad too close. The size differences between those two seem appropriate in a cycling discussion...
Coincidentally, I get yelled at more when on the saddle by people with larger vehicles. The larger the vehicle, the louder and lengthier the insults are. Quick, someone do a regression analysis.
