Earlier in this thread someone posted a quote from one of the officers 
involved. The guy on the Daytona had been (to paraphrase) 'hitting all 
of his apexes; the problem was that included the ones in the oncoming 
traffic lane'

If you go around blind curves in the wrong lane, you will get hurt if 
not killed. Personally, I will use the wrong lane in a curve on two 
occassions:
1. if a survival reaction sets in and my mind keeps insisting that I 
can't turn tighter. That hasn't gotten me killed yet, but I know that if 
I don't conquer those survival reactions soon, it will.
2. If a left hander isn't blind, nothing is coming, and I'm feeling too 
lazy/scared to take it with more lean angle.
