Cruise & other on road based events

[russellw]

It saddens me that I have to post this reminder but as a result of an incident at a recent event involving some members of this group it is clearly necessary to do so.

So for those who don't understand the rules of cruises and other events which involve driving on public roads here is a reminder.

Cruise is defined thus: .. to move to and fro, or from place to place for pleasure: (of a car, aeroplane, etc.) to move along easily at a moderate speed

1. Cruise attendees should conduct themselves in a manner that will not bring their club or this forum into disrepute.

2. Cruise attendees should observe the relevant road laws applicable to the State where their event is held whilst also bearing in mind the prevailing conditions.

3. Drivers on cruise based events should maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front at all times.

It is highly recommended that two way radio communication be used to maintain contact with larger groups of vehicles on cruise events as it is often difficult to avoid seperation in urban areas due to traffic lights and junctions.

The underlying factor is to be safe and to have an event that is enjoyable for all concerned. Rest assured that those who do not adhere to these rules will find themselves barred from future evetns and quite likely removed from this forum.
