This is covered in the highway code and if followed, would allow for ninja cyclists. (And felled trees, wildlife, people walking home from the pub and any other obstruction/danger.)
"Drive at a speed that will allow you to stop well within the distance you can see to be clear. "
That means slowing down for blind corners and driving appropriately on unlit and narrow roads where the furthest you can see to be clear will likely be the beam of your headlights.
Most people just seem to ignore this though.
