Travelling on the common side
Created | Updated May 22, 2003
You Earthlings should take an example to the Vogons. They travel the hyperspace bypasses in the middle, avoiding each other by looking the other way. Perhaps the state of non existance by travelling at hyperspeed also contibutes to the safety and makes it a little harder to do by road travelling.
Should it matter if you travel in your right or would you rather be left out? (babel fish confusion).
Why walk on any specific side, you should travel on the common (not specifically left or right) side. By travelling on the common side you are confirming to the appointments you have taken to form a community. By travelling on the other side you are in control so you should take measures to avoid any doubt or problems.
The other day I was driving my bike on a cycling path. Two runners approach, one on each side at the passing. I just keep on the common side, far enough for the wrong side to choose common side, or to pass if not. Something struck my jaw and broke it, if it was a meteorite it must have just missed the wrong side runner.
