The fact is I *am* thankful they were following the traffic code and not running me over, because the further fact is when I'm on a bike and they're in a car/truck/RV/semi or what have you, I am at a serious disadvantage. And the laws of man do not trump the laws of physics.
When you are driving do you also wave and complement drivers who drive within legal speed limit and stop at red lights and stop signs ?. Sorry but I disagree with your logic. I shouldn't have to wave and complement drivers who pass me safely because they are under legal obligation to follow safe passing distances.
