I should mention, that operators of large vehicles appreciate you staying well clear in their blind spots in the instance of stopping at intersections. On top of that, being in their visibility if possible. For example, the transit bus has no rear window, so i give it nearly a car length if i'm behind, or if i'm to the side, i will try to be 2-3 feet in front so the driver knows exactly where i am and what my intentions are. For school buses and trailer trucks, staying visible helps them know where to point their vehicle if a tight spot is upcoming. I have found operators of A & B class vehicles to not only be more adhering to the law, but also more thoughtful around cyclists.

I am not sure if this should be made part of motoring law, but it is at the least some sound operating procedure that has kept me safe for many years.
