Reminder
For those who are a bit rusty on Convoy Procedure
The MJOC 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. The second vehicle puts indicator on and will 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 mostly in smaller groups or when the vehicles are close together. 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. This procedure has a higher risk of vehicles missing turns if a driver forgets to wait.
Make sure you follow the Trip Leaders instructions when marking corners.
