Off-siding

[Skippernick]

Is this the same thing as go8ng to the opposite side of the carriageway and getting a further vanishing point?

Reason I ask, I was on a b road in a transit van some years ago. All twists etc and behind a line of vehicles. Think a truck was holding everything up. Cannae mind. But two bike cops appreared at the back taking down the queue one at a time. They were in fro t of us for a wee while cos of oncoming traffic before one pulled ahead and jumped past some more. The other wasn't far behind but stayed a little longer. To get a view he pulled all the way to the right side of the road hugging the boundary line and popped back in. Waited til it was a bit clearer,  did it again and the resumed picking off cars one at a time.

Is that off siding?

Thats the one, was there white lines on the road? My observer basically said if there are white lines don't do if not then technically you can use the whole of the road. Its all just get a better view of the road.
