off-siding is sitting in the gutter on the right had side of the road for a left hand bend (assuming no solid white lines) so you can see further round the bend.

I wouldn't advise going as far as the gutter, but it is perfectly legal to cross the centre line into the opposite carriageway on a left-hander for a better view *provided* you can do it without causing an on-coming vehicle to have to alter their speed or direction and especially that you can do it without compromising your own safety.
