In the UK there is Roadcraft. It is a book that develops safe techniques to an advanced level. In doing so it recommends: IPSGA
1) Observe the limit point of the bend
2) Reduce your speed so that you can comfortably stop on your side of the road within the distance you can see to be clear (before the limit point)
3) As you come off the brakes select an appropriate flexible gear for the bend
4) As you steer into the bend maintain the speed with the throttle to neither acc/decelerate
5) As the limit point starts moving away, accelerate.
This is the safest way to take a corner for all standards and encourages "information" to dictate the speed prior to entry.
There is however, the option to trail brake. That can be utilised once your observation links have been honed to a very high standard. So high that you never make an error in entry speed - To ".....Reduce your speed so that you can comfortably stop on your side of the road within the distance you can see to be clear (before the limit point)...." can be compressed slightly with trail braking, however, road surface condition, micro climates, camber, etc, must all have been taken into consideration 100% or an incident can ensue.
