close enough?

But with all my respect IAM Roadcraft book is full with some sheer nonsense. Anybody that follows the recomended bend line for "advanced riding style" below risks to be run over by the first Porsche that cuts that bend.

Well, yes, if they haven't read and understood the bit about IPSGA in Roadcraft where it says "Each element of IPSGA should not be applied slavishly, but always be considered".

Or, as it says on the page where that picture comes from "Position yourself for the best view only when it is genuinely advantageous."

As for your suggested line, what if there's a broken down car on the inside of the bend just around the corner? Could you stop in the distance you can see is clear? If you anchor up, you're going to go straight on, but what if there's traffic on the other side of the road?

Taking the "vision line" gives you more time to react before you reach the hazard.

I am sure we learn all our life and training is always good think, but I prefer as you have said to choose myself how to do that...

And that's entirely your right. But does that mean that you consider you have *nothing* left to learn...?
