I think its a bit of a loaded questions as it will depend on the road and conditions. On joining a motorway I like to do a quick lifesaver if it is busy but if conditions dictate its not necessary then no. I also do this if over taking on a/or moving lane on a motorway.
I do check my offside mirror before any overtake. This has been taught me through the IAM course as you will be observing in the general direction you are going to move to whilst assessing the risk.
It also depends if your riding in a group with those who like to zip pass you. What has surprised me with this question is that an enforcing authority is giving guidance as I would always say it depends on the particular circumstances at that moment in time of the over take.
