On a blind curve, it would seem to me safer to take the lane where you are more visible, once you're passed the "apex" of the curve, move back to the right.

It's true that forum dwellers, myself included, love to preach about the set-in-stone rules. But the fact of the matter is, you do what is safest for you. The reason I do what I do is because I believe most people are reasonable enough to know that there are exceptions to every rule. And secondly, because if we all took the stance, "Do what you think is safest" you'd have ignorant (not stupid, just ignorant) people doing things that aren't safe, and perhaps telling other people the same thing.
