It cannot intersect your own at significant speed, unless you expend significant energy to diverge your trajectory. Otherwise it simply continues to accompany you at some slightly varying distance.

Makes looking out the window slightly disturbing.

Unless the body passes by a big mass and gets accelerated in your direction. The last thing you need for the morale of the crew is to have your fellow shipmate splattered on your windshield.

The odds are low, but it's worth the care.
