Backdoor Hints and Tips



Backdoor Hints and Tips
If you are lucky enough to volunteer or to be volunteered to be Backdoor on a club cruise, here are some tips that may be useful.

Keep the leader informed.
For example:
  • All cars are out of the parking lot.
  • All cars have made a turn.
  • All cars are on the freeway (hopefully in the right direction).
  • When the group gets split up like at a stoplight.
  • If the group does get split, make sure the split off group gets on the right route. (The Backdoor should get with the leader so they know the route)
  • When all cars have cleared a stoplight or stop sign.
  • When all cars have cleared an obstruction.
  • When all cars have passed a slower vehicle, especially on 2 lane roads.
  • If someone pulls over. You should pull over with them and make sure they are OK. Stay with them unless they give you assurance that they will be OK.

  • (Catching up with the group is always fun).

    Remember most, or all of have radios, don’t be afraid to use them to keep the other members of the group informed..
