I totally agree with you and I drive a small car. You try to keep them in view but because of the behaviour as indicated above, you can lose sight of them and then have 2 choices- get very anxious or think f them. Then, as long as you drive by the book, if there is an incident (I will not say 'accident' because it isn't) then hopefully the cyclist will observe your behaviour. Also, at night, there are a few of them who have no lights and wear dark clothing- these people must have a death wish.
