I too was taught to drive like this, positioning the car for the best possible view rather than rigidly staying on 'your ' side of road. In the absence of oncoming traffic, or someone behind me, I  will typically drive along the centre of a narrow country road, or even on the wrong side of the road if it helps see round bends, or very close to the side of the road  if that helps.   But its an advanced driving technique that requires an advanced level of observation and hazard awareness . 
Likewise.
I learnt on a motorcycle and this is exactly what you do.

My main objection to lane assist, is it's an "app" that's trying to replace decades of points free driving experience.

Like LV I'm also a IAM member, passed in 1983

That training and teaches a lot of useful info

My tutors first words were "if you can get to your destination as refreshed as when you set out your driving is good"
Let's be careful out there !

I have experienced this as well, not sure if I like it that much.  But I heard some stories about Skoda interfering with what they call Predictive Adaptive Cruise Control (pACC). That they are driving 100km/h and that the car sees a 30km/h sign somewhere (on another road) and that it suddenly drops in speed to 30km/h.  As far as I know the Honda Jazz does not have this. We have ACC but not pACC.

There is a 30 sign on a parallel road to the M4 westbound

Somewhere around the Datchet area near Slough

My Jazz never picked this up which surprised me

I did post a photo of it ages ago

If that's how the Skoda system works then it'll cause much frustration at the school signs which show a reduced limit IF the lights are flashing.

I've only seen one sign where the displayed limit value changes for the school crossing, and that was in Milford Haven.

I seen them talk about it in the comments in a Dutch newspaper. But if you ask google AI it will confirm this, see:
