Group Drive Safety Guidelines:
- Safety is our first priority! Turn on your headlights and remember our group drives are not track events.
- Drive aware. Road hazards such as road debris/rocks can be kicked up by other cars and trucks unexpectedly. Remember that your PCA friend’s car, that they love as well, is behind you. Bicycling groups, wildlife, and slow moving utility vehicles are commonly encountered on weekends and in rural areas where we’re headed.
- Please ensure you and your vehicles are tour-ready prior to departure: sufficient fuel, oil and coolant levels are topped up, healthy and properly inflated tires, bio break etc.
- Once we are established on the drive, stay in your position relative to the other vehicles in the group. Maintain a safe nose-to-tail following distance from the vehicle ahead of you. No distracted driving, please.
- Stay aware of the lead vehicle. The route may have to be changed due to traffic or road conditions/closures. Stay flexible!
- If you experience a mechanical issue/failure and must pull over, the sweeper will advise the group and peel off with stranded member(s) for assistance and advise the group of status. No member will be left stranded.
- Often we experience little/no cellular phone coverage along our twisty road adventures. Our group utilizes handheld UHF two-way radios for communication and safety. If you have a radio, pay attention and listen for any updates that may be broadcast. If you have your own UHF radio, please tune to channel 5-5; if we need to change channels due to interference, a new channel number will be broadcast to everyone in our group. VIsit this member discussion to learn more about UHF Radios.
- As always, club veterans are at your services for any questions or concerns you may have.
