There is actually a secondary reason for moving over quite apart from giving more room, it vastly increases the chance of you being seen.
I don't have a link to the study but its been found that we are very bad at 'seeing' anything that is on a course to pass just slightly in front of us, just the act of moving from the centre of the lane to the outside (or nearside) could just be enough to alert a driver that you are there.
