My two-penny worth:
We, (some, most,all) choose to be examined to RoSPA standards which are based on Roadcraft:
Signalling at the 300yd marker is a Roadcraft standard. Whether or not there is a need for that signal is, your consideration.
As for signalling left to return to a lane, as GTR1400MAN opines, that suggests that an overtake has occured and, provided sufficient gap (2 sec+) is maintained and you are still pulling away, then no signal should be necessary. The gist is that the drivers behind you can see your movements and shouldn't need to be told.
As advanced drivers/riders, we choose to meet (or try) those standards, so why should we wish to question them?
