I also get annoyed at those overtaking me with only a few inches distance.
However, the rulebook on cyclist overtaking cyclist still seems to be only at the drafting stage. Methinks that if you insist of wide overtaking you're indulging the dopey cyclists* who thinks the road belongs to them at least one meter on each side.
"Hold your line" is also as strong rule - here on the forum at least - and if you do hold your line there shouldn't be much of an issue if people overtake you. Then there's the common sense of looking over your shoulder every few seconds - which should keep you from colliding with whatever rushes up from behind.
*not implying you are one of them Bagheera.
