Scooter Safety Tips for Group Riding
When riding in a group, please observe the following Riding Safety Guidelines. We want to make sure that everyone has a safe, fun and enjoyable ride, free of crashes and accidents. We will have riders of all levels riding from beginners to experienced.
- Allow plenty of space between yourself and other riders. Drive carefully and safely.
- Ride in a staggered formation. Ride in manner where you do not have a rider directly in front of you. This allows a cushion of space to your right and left for maneuvering. (SEE DIAGRAM)
- Allow at least a 2 second cushion between yourself and the rider in front of you and and behind you. Choose a landmark that the scooter in front of you passes, then count "one thousand one, one thousand two." If you reach the landmark before finishing the count, you're too close. (SEE DIAGRAM)
- No horseplay, ie, weaving in and out of other riders, riding circles around the group, sudden accelerations or quick stops. Any kind of unsafe and unpredictable riding behavior will not be tolerated and the rider will be asked to leave the ride.
- No drinking and riding.
- If your scooter breaks down, dismount and move the scooter off to the side of the street.
- Smile, honk your horn, have fun and SQREAM!
