Thread: Convoy procedure - last car etiquette

It depends on how they are riding, If they pull over or atleast make it easy for you to pass then you tell them the truth but if they are being idiots, I tell them nothing.

On a number of occasions I have alerted motor bike riders of how many in the convoy but they completely ignor me anything as the next thing I hear on the radio is "Explicit....Where the hell did he come from" and thats before I have even got to the mic to warn the rest of the group.

Im sure there are some responsible motor bike riders out there and I have met a few but most I have come across in high country vic are just simple hoons on unrego'd bikes and most wouldnt know what a licence was or safety gear in some cases.

E.g. the fantastically smart bloke who took off from Frys flat following us out, narrow road, drop off on the right and 3' high cutting on the left and he then rides between the cutting and my mates patrol and my disco where we both dropped wheels off the edge as to not have him wedge himself into the side of the road and our cars.

Even his mates then road passed a little later where the road widened shaking their heads.

He was also in runners, shorts, T shirt but did have a helmet on.

That has to be the worst Ive had though.

Come to think of it, O or 0 might be misunderstood if the hand is held at an angle

It's all to confusing now - I'll just make a "Last car" or "Only 1 car" sign & wave it as I pass someone .

Hold ya hand flat, palm down & wave side to side like a "Four" in cricket............................
