That's what I would have said. Either, or.

It would be more important to signal back in having overtaken a moving vehicle than a parked one

Things must have changed since I did the tests. The rule then was to leave the right indicator on until one had resumed one's position again on the left. To utilise the left indicator was considered bad practise (unless on a dual carriageway).
