Earliest full view of offside verge on approach to left bend

Oncoming driver's view of you (or not)

 

Driver's view from within lane - note shadow intersecting with left verge vanishing point

Driver's view from offside position - note further view to second darker shadow intersecting with left verge vanishing point
 
 
Initial shadow on left, second darker shadow is the angled shadow towards right
 
According to Chapter 5 http://assets.dft.gov.uk/publications/traffic-signs-manual/traffic-signs-manual-chapter-05.pdf , there should be a 3m gap between 6m lines
 
Therefore, the additional view gained from the offside position is C. 4m [NB 60mph = 29 metres per second]
 
 
 
Surprise Horizon V Limit Point
