Is this something we should have as a sticky?
Good for the newbies.
1. Each Convoy will contain a “Trip Leader” who will lead the convoy and coordinate the trips activities for the group.
2. The Trip Leader is to brief the convoy members at the commencement of the trip on the days events and organise the convoys members to maximise control and communication.
3. The Trip Leader will advise the convoy whenever they are to enter a new track or road.
4. The Trip Leader is to decide when the convoy is to disperse.
5. Each convoy shall contain a nominated “Tail End Charlie (TEC)”.
6. TEC will advise the trip leader whenever they enter a new track or road.
7. If there is a breakdown, TEC will wait and organise assistance.
8. When travelling along busy thoroughfares, leave sufficient room for other vehicles to overtake safely.
9. When turning into a new track or road, each member is to ensure that the vehicle directly behind him or her has identified the correct route. They will acknowledge by flashing their lights.
10. Each member is to maintain their position in the convoy at all times, except in unavoidable circumstances and then after having advised the Trip Leader. (Convoy members should identify themselves to the drivers of the vehicles directly in front, and behind them when the convoy is established.)
11. At a river, creek or water crossing, each member is to wait until the vehicle preceding has negotiated the obstacle before proceeding.
12. Avoid travelling too close to the vehicle when ascending or descending steep hills. At the discretion of the Trip Leader, the individual convoy members may be required to wait until the preceding indicates that it is clear to proceed.
13. In the interest of conservation, convoy members are to remain on gazetted or marked tracks.
14. No vehicle shall leave the convoy unless the Trip Leader has been informed.
15. A safe distance should be maintained whilst recovery equipment is in use, this especially applies to winch cables and snatch straps.
