I’d argue that you’re acting MORE safely by helping other road users to avoid putting themselves in danger.
This DVSA page clearly supports lane straddling: safedrivingforlife.info/your-lorry-road
The relevant part says, “The size of your vehicle may have an effect on your road position, eg if your vehicle is wide you may need to straddle lanes, especially when turning.”
Now, that’s a general statement about “turning” rather than specifically about roundabout approach, but I think it shows that DVSA support the principle.
I certainly “help” other road users by using my road position. I’m not talking about swerving all over the road to block over taking, but in slow speed / tight locations where I have a far better view / understanding of the road layout and hazards ahead.
