That is the oldest one in the book (actually always quoted by Police but even they don't follow their own advice as it is not a feasible way of getting around). Are you saying that when you are driving your car and approach a blind bend you slow down to walking pace just in case there is a parked car, cow, horse, group of people etc just round the corner ? In real life it just does not happen and I doubt very much 99% of the population do the same.
.

The Highway Code is very clear on the matter of stopping:

Drive at a speed that will allow you to stop well within the distance you can see to be clear.

This means slowing down for blind corners....
