Interesting.
Nor sure if i am correct 100%, but if you going to overtake and the path is clear, you might as well move all the way out and have a good look.
This way there would a good chance to see the driver pulling out, or the driver seeing you.
I know most drivers don't look, but since in case of an accident we are the ones to loose, i would say:
1- move out early and go wide.
2- lights on and be prepared to beep your horn
3 - keep an eye for any indication someone might turn
4- if you don't know the road ahead etc, stay put, loose a minute and arrive safe home
You might even be right doing multiple overtaking on the eye of the law but i am more concerned with the Law of Pain
If it might hurt at the end, I try to stay on the safe side...
