Friendly backroad cornerning advice

We teach, what I think is a better version of that: stay outside until you can see the exit of the turn, then turn in and accelerate. This is taught in a couple different parts of the course.

The vanishing point idea takes all conditions into account not just cornering.

Small hills on straights being just one example.

I've been behind cars passing a bicycle that think nothing about placing their car in the other lane with a "blind" hill coming up.

Keep in mind that sand/gravel builds up in the center of the lane due to vehicle tracks. When going into blind turns I usually pick the line that a cars left tires would be tracking.
