What to do cycling a blind bend

So I have recently started cycling with the SO and have leant to deal with the usual naivete of other road users (oncoming cars flashing when we're two abreast and no impediment on them, motorbike overtaking within and inch on a dual carriageway) but I recently had a close call with a car on a blind bend and wondered what I should do in the future as it is part of my usual route.
I was going up hill round a right hand blind bend, the usual 1mish from the verge to avoid the roadside censored , when a car came up behind me and started to overtake to my utter disbelief. Well as luck would have it a car came round the other side and suddenly there was not enough road for the three of us. The cars bonnet was just level with my front wheel and rather than break, put their foot down. Luckily I had the foresight to swerve onto the verge when I heard the engine rev and the oncoming car slammed their breaks on as less than a second later my original stretch of road was occupied by the car nearly colliding with the one in front as well as me.
I was wondering whether next time I should move to the middle of my side of the road to further discourage a blind overtake, stay tight to the edge or something else?
Thanks

If an idiot does try it then you've some space to deal with the consequences.
Obviously the odd idiot won't, and you will probably die, but such is life.

Or like you said just take the middle of the road.
But it seems like you've got enough intuition about other car drivers to know better and can anticipate their next move.
So I think you will do fine.
Hahaha!
Stick to the dual carriageways and use crossing slip roads as interval training. If it does go wrong at least it will be over quickly.
1. It stops drivers from trying a blind overtake (like the OP's example)
2. It gives you the best possible view around the corner so that you can see hazards earlier
3. It makes you the most visible to vehicles both behind you and coming the other way - giving them the most time to respond.
RH blind bends are more tricky because for "1" you want to be over to the right, and for "2" and "3" over to the left. I tend to stick to the 1m position.
There's lots of debris left there too.
I don't think it is a good strategy. You want to be seen and make motorists think before overtaking.
I generally find road position takes care of most numpties.
So yep - move out. Make them think twice before overtaking, ideally decide not to and if they do anyway you have somewhere to swerve. And if they do try to overtake, you could slow down a bit and let them complete the manoevre more quickly.
If you keep far over to the left, next to the verge, thats even worse - they will try to squeeze through when there is oncoming traffic, even if there isnt enough room - you are tempting them to do it.
But you will always get people that just dont give a censored and will go for gaps that arnt there.
This is what I do. It takes a bit of nerve when you first start but once you get used to it it will keep you safer. If I've held someone up for longer than the usual motorists patience lasts (about 5 secs) I might even give a wave of thanks when I move in to let them go past.
