When approaching a right-hand bend, you should keep well to the left. Why is this?

A: To improve your view of the road

B: To overcome the effect of the road’s slope

C: To let faster traffic from behind overtake

D: To be positioned safely if you skid

Doing this will give you an earlier view around the bend and enable you to see any hazards sooner. It also reduces the risk of collision with an oncoming vehicle that may have drifted over the centre line while taking the bend.
