Group Drive Safety Guidelines:

1. Safety is our first priority!  Turn on your headlights and remember our group drives are not track events.  Focus on the driving task stay sharp – you’re in a PORSCHE!
2. Please ensure your car and you are tour-ready prior to departure:  sufficient fuel, oil and coolant levels topped up, healthy and properly inflated tires, bio break etc.
3. Drive aware!  Road hazards such as road debris and rocks can be kicked up by other vehicles unexpectedly.  Remember that your PCA friends' cars - that they love as well - are with you. Bicyclists, wildlife, and slow moving utility vehicles are commonly encountered on weekends in the rural areas that we’ll be passing through. 
4. Once established on the drive, stay in your position relative to the other vehicles in the group.  Maintain a safe nose-to-tail following distance from the vehicle ahead of you
   • About 2 to 3 second spacing is ideal:  not too close (no rock chips), but not too far (large gaps can split up the group). Do your part to keep the driving group together and tidy!
5. Focus on enjoying your glorious Porsche - No distracted driving, please!
6. Maintain awareness of the lead vehicle.  The route may have to be changed due to traffic or road conditions/closures.  Stay flexible!
7. If you experience a mechanical issue/failure and must pull over, turn on your hazard lights.  The sweeper car will advise the group and peel off with stranded member(s) for assistance and advise the group of status.  No member will be left stranded.
8. Often we experience little/no cellular phone coverage along our twisty road adventures. Our group utilizes handheld UHF two-way radios for communication and safety.  If you have your own UHF radio, please tune to channel 5, and use CTSS privacy code 05 as well.  If you have a radio, pay attention and listen for any updates that may be broadcast; if we need to change channels due to interference, a new channel number will be broadcast to everyone in our group.
9. As always, club veterans are at your service for any questions or concerns you may have.

Have Fun!  We’re driving our Porsches in their native habitat: winding back-roads.  Relish the drive!
