Wheel Chair Etiquette, 101

When encountering someone in a wheel chair (or other means of assisted walking), please note the following courtesies:

1. Please allow adequate room for turning around. A wheel chair does not turn easily. It needs room, so please take a step back.
2. Do not cut in front of a wheel chair. This is not only dangerous for you, but also for the rider and the pusher. Besides, it takes momentum to push a chair. Every time the pusher needs to stop, momentum must build up, once again.
3. If you are at an airport, or any other crowded place, please keep your eyes open for those with special needs. It won't kill you to offer some help. It may be turned down, or it may be accepted - just offer once in a while.
4. If the pusher is piled with stuff (such as two suitcases, as I was recently), how about offering to push the rider for a little bit? At the very least, please don't bitch that we are in your way.
