Frequently asked question (FAQ)

What are the rules for turning round safely?

Never swivel on one foot or cross your legs. Walk round in a semicircle, with your feet slightly apart. In other words, make the turn part of your walk. Always turn in a forward direction. We would add the following rules, especially for situations wherethere is a shortage of space:

  1. Get your balance first before you start to turn.
  2. Take your time – don’t rush.
  3. Do it in stages. For example, make four quarter turns rather than one big one.
