If you can't see there isn't a junction (there are places for one to be hidden), hold back & wait for a better opportunity where you can see there isn't one.

Would you factor in some kind or probability to a vehicle being present, or 100% decide not to overtake; say you can see an open field gate set back in a hedge row. No activity in the field you can see; no mud on the road to indicate the field's being used. Would you teach to not overtake?
If you could see the gate was closed, would you teach to overtake?

Overtake 15 - Overtake takes enough time on the other side of the road with forward visibility largely obscured by the caravan for a vehicle to travel the distance initially seen to be clear from the opposite direction?
Overtake 16 - Quite a large zone of invisibility in the dip which could easily mask a vehicle - cyclist etc.

Quite. And there was not enough time for questions.....a happy coincidence?

Obviously he has some strong acceleration at his disposal
