Letter: Letters : Left? Right!

Published 12 January 2002

From Anthony G. Phillips

Eugenie Samuel quotes a scientist describing two people approaching each other
on the street who “both step from left to right at the same time and can’t get past”
(8 December, p 22).
Personally, I have always found this to be the safest way to avoid a collision.
