In order to ensure the safety and enjoyment of cruise participants, here are a few cruise rules and suggestions.

Don't push yourself too far or too fast! - We will travel the route at a 'brisk' pace, but within the posted limits and regulations. We don't want to drive too fast, out of concern for the safety of ourselves and others; but not too slow, so that we can enjoy the full experience of driving these great machines. If you feel uncomfortable with the speed of the group, feel free to let others pass and drop back toward the back of the group. Do not feel pressured to be pushed faster than you're comfortable with. You will not be left behind! We will always wait for everyone to catch up at the end of each road, and we will have marker cars at each turn as necessary. If you feel others are driving unsafely, please report it to the group leaders at the first opportunity and the situation will be addressed immediately.

Pay Attention - Keep focused on your driving, and your eyes on the road. All it takes is a split second, and the damage is done. Keep a safe distance between yourself and the car in front of you - 3 to 5 carlengths should be sufficient. Absolutely no tailgating, or opening a space and closing it at high speed. However, with so many cars, it is important to stay close to the group to avoid getting lost.

Seat Belt Usage - The use of safety belts is required by law. Not only can you save yourself from injury, or even worse, by wearing your seat belt; but you can save others from pain and suffering as well.

Speed Limits - We will keep to the posted speed limits. That's not to say that the driving won't be spirited, but it will be done in a safe manner and within posted regulations.

Passing - Passing non-cruise vehicles, in an attempt to catch up to the group, is permitted as long as it is done in a cautious, safe manner, and is in a legal passing zone. If you wish to pass a cruise member, or if you want someone to pass you, indicate to them through a hand motion or via the FRS radio. Otherwise, NO PASSING IS PERMITTED. On 2-lane roads, stay in the same lane as the leader, unless otherwise instructed.

FRS Radios - these radios are an essential communication device, and it is strongly recommeded that each participant carry one. There will be some extras, but please bring your own if possible. We use the radios to warn of oncoming traffic, directions, roadway hazards, emergency purposes, and general chit-chat. The cruise is much more enjoyable when you're in contact with all the other drivers.

Littering - Absolutely no littering. Keep your trash in the car, or if you are outside your car, find an acceptable trash bin to dispose of your waste.

Cell phone - my cell phone number is [handed out at cruise time]. Don't hesitate to call if you're running late or need directions.
