Correct Line

Look at the path of the bike carefully.

Notice the approach positioned near the crown of the road (this is the default safe riding position).

The rider goes deep into the bend (for the best view round it) then positions the bike toward the crown of the road upon the exit.

Wrong Line:

Resist the temptation to cut across the bend (racing line) as this will position your head and shoulders over the centre of the road and directly in the path of a Box Van or Bus.

This is known as the Decapitation Zone!
