Arrive at the starting point in plenty of time for the briefing on the route and destination of the trip. Please be ready to depart on time with a full fuel tank. If you are going to leave the group before the end of the trip, please tell the Lead Car, Sweeper, and others. This is so that the group does not either, wait for you to catch up, or follow you.</span></p><p></p><p><strong><span style="font-family: 'Arial Black'">2) Headlights On</span></strong></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">During daytime: On your "small" lights and your fog lights.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">During nighttime: On your headlights and your fog lights.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">This is how the rest of the world knows what is going on. Your lights on enable you to see your fellow members and know who is with you. If someone pulls off the road in trouble they are easier to identify in the rear view mirror. Best of all it really looks cool.</span></p><p></p><p><strong><span style="font-family: 'Arial Black'">3) Don't follow too close</span></strong></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">When in a convoy keeping good distances is a must for safety as well as an act of kindness to the car you are following. Your cars are special and worth a lot of money so don't risk them. If we are traveling slowly, i.e. less than 40km/h, bumper to bumper is not an issue BUT do not tailgate the car in front at high speed. Your braking reaction plus your braking distance would increase. Keep a safe distance away!</span></p><p></p><p><strong><span style="font-family: 'Arial Black'">4) Allow other traffic to intermingle</span></strong></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">Instinctively, people in a convoy don't want to allow other cars to merge into the line. You must allow other drivers to move in and out of your convoy. Other drivers usually are intimidated or in awe of the spectacle and need to be given extra consideration. Be patient in letting them find their place and pass them if necessary when they settle in a bad spot. You want other drivers to say, "Wow that was neat". Be a friendly convoy.</span></p><p></p><p><strong><span style="font-family: 'Arial Black'">5) Lead car should keep speed reasonable</span></strong></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">This is hard. It is all too easy to let the speed creep up. When you have a diverse group of drivers and car capability, there will be people who think it's too slow and others who say you are going too fast. Try to stay with the flow of other traffic. This reduces the need for constant lane changes and passing, making the drive safer for the group</span><strong><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">. <em>It is each individual driver's responsibility to keep the vehicle behind him or her in sight, insuring the group stays together. If the car behind slows down, please slow down with it. <span style="color: #ff0000">If each car does this convoy will stay together</span>.</em><u>Do not go faster than you feel comfortable driving!</u></span></strong> <span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"> If you feel that the cars in front are driving without consideration for you or for other road users, please do not try to keep up. It is better that you fall back and form your own group.</span></p><p></p><p><strong><span style="font-family: 'Arial Black'">6) In case of difficulties or problems</span></strong></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">If a car gets in trouble, </span><strong><u><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">nobody in the convoy stops EXCEPT for the sweeper</span></u></strong><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">. The sweeper will ensure everything is all right and the convoy must proceed on until a suitable stopping place is found. A whole line of cars along a busy road translates to a higher chance of accidents waiting to happen.</span></p><p></p><p><strong><span style="font-family: 'Arial Black'">7) Take it easy</span></strong></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">Sometimes not everything goes as planned. Participants in a convoy usually have pretty high expectations and are loaded with anticipation of the day's events. It is important to stay focused on the trip at hand and be able to relax when things get hectic, people get lost, or traffic snarls throw you off schedule. </span></p><p></p><p><strong><span style="font-family: 'Arial Black'">8) Entering / Exiting Highways</span></strong></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">Some of us use Touch N Go, some uses TAG while some other uses cash. Whatever your means of paying is, ALWAYS slow down after your transaction and park behind the Lead Car on the road shoulder with your hazard lights on. Never get out of the car. Wait till all the rest are assembled <strong><u>(the Sweeper will ensure that) </u></strong>and slowly signaled out to the slow lane. </span></p><p><strong><u><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">In the highway:</span></u></strong><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"> We all want a smooth convoy. Staying at the right lane always priority, but we must let the other traffic which is faster than us to overtake. <strong><u>SWEEPER </u></strong>must inform <strong><u>LEAD CAR </u></strong>that there is other vehicles need to pass our convoy, Lead Car will signal to left lane when possible and let the other vehicles to overtake/ pass. <strong><u>SWEEPER</u></strong> must block the right lane and inform <strong><u>LEAD CAR</u></strong> that the last vehicle that pass so that lane changes be smooth.</span></p><p></p><p><strong><span style="font-family: 'Arial Black'">9) Overtaking </span></strong></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">Overtake only when legal and safe to do so. DO NOT overtake on double white lines,</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">on bends or at any place where the way ahead is not clear. If a member of the group</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">or public wants to overtake you, please let them. Don't close up the gap to the car</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">in front of you and force the overtaking car into a dangerous maneuver.</span></p></blockquote><p></p>

The sweeper will ensure everything is all right and the convoy must proceed on until a suitable stopping place is found. A whole line of cars along a busy road translates to a higher chance of accidents waiting to happen.[/FONT] [B][FONT='Arial Black']7) Take it easy[/FONT][/B] [FONT=Verdana]Sometimes not everything goes as planned. Participants in a convoy usually have pretty high expectations and are loaded with anticipation of the day's events. It is important to stay focused on the trip at hand and be able to relax when things get hectic, people get lost, or traffic snarls throw you off schedule. [/FONT] [B][FONT='Arial Black']8) Entering / Exiting Highways[/FONT][/B] [FONT=Verdana]Some of us use Touch N Go, some uses TAG while some other uses cash. Whatever your means of paying is, ALWAYS slow down after your transaction and park behind the Lead Car on the road shoulder with your hazard lights on. Never get out of the car. Wait till all the rest are assembled [B][U](the Sweeper will ensure that) [/U][/B]and slowly signaled out to the slow lane. [/FONT] [B][U][FONT=Verdana]In the highway:[/FONT][/U][/B][FONT=Verdana] We all want a smooth convoy. Staying at the right lane always priority, but we must let the other traffic which is faster than us to overtake. [B][U]SWEEPER [/U][/B]must inform [B][U]LEAD CAR [/U][/B]that there is other vehicles need to pass our convoy, Lead Car will signal to left lane when possible and let the other vehicles to overtake/ pass. [B][U]SWEEPER[/U][/B] must block the right lane and inform [B][U]LEAD CAR[/U][/B] that the last vehicle that pass so that lane changes be smooth.[/FONT] [B][FONT='Arial Black']9) Overtaking [/FONT][/B] [FONT=Verdana]Overtake only when legal and safe to do so. DO NOT overtake on double white lines, on bends or at any place where the way ahead is not clear. If a member of the group or public wants to overtake you, please let them. Don't close up the gap to the car in front of you and force the overtaking car into a dangerous maneuver.[/FONT] [/QUOTE]
