Allowed the courtesy, I like that.
I go with the assumption that everyone else is about to do something dumb...but the car coming from behind in the one you can't really control. OP, these are the ones that scare me the most. I've been grazed, but never knocked down.
When I feel its not safe to pass, I'll usually ride in the middle of the road/lane when possible...my safety, my decision.
