your sighted guide will walk to the right of you. When they tell you to
make a 45% turn to right....they then line themselves up with the back of
your chair and walk backwards to turn just as if their hip was attached to the
back of your chair. Guides tend to wear good shoes though because there
is always a chance you could hit a toe or two...but if they tell you soon
enough....you will slow down and the turn will as if you are one. Think of
them moving with you as dancing....they lead..u follow and they adjust to
the movement of your chair.

If your sighted guide is on the right, and you need to turn right,
wouldn't you run them over? Or can you do it easily with no damage?
