A left hand bend has inherent dangers, oncoming vehicles could be cutting the corner and be directly in your path as you position for view into the bend. Always look out for other dangers, like junctions and road surface debris.Do not ride near the white line all the time just because it is the correct position for a bend. Think about why you are there and look for clues that prevent you from being closer to oncoming traffic. You must be comfortable in your position to master cornering.
