Convoy Process

The club uses 2 different convoy methods and some trip leaders use one or the other and often use both together.

Leap Frog Technique -

The Trip Leader requests that the second vehicle in the convoy stops in a safe position that clearly points the way. They stay until all vehicles pass by and then rejoins the convoy ahead of the ‘tail-end Charlie’. This procedure is repeated at all intersections along the way unless all vehicles are bunched up and in visual contact.

Stop Look And Go Technique - 

This technique is used for smaller convoys of up to 5 or 6 vehicles. Each vehicle stops at each intersection and waits for the following vehicle to indicate visual contact of the direction of travel. Radio communications are used or headlights flashed to indicate this. Never take off without confirmation that the following vehicle has seen you.
