I find it hard to understand how the combination of 'safety and' 'three figures' can be used in the context of moving offside because there's obscured view.
For want of something better as a guide, if we take the Highway Code figure for 70 then you're committed from 100yds back, so how much extra view will you gain from offsiding to support a choice of a 100mph+ approach?
Regular readers can scroll on past at this point, as they will have seen these before

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

Therefore, the additional view gained from the offside position is C. 4m [NB 60mph = 29 metres per second]
