Welcome to PCA Potomac Drive and Dine! Our goal is to have a safe, fun event. With this in mind we have a few guidelines that we want everyone to follow.

1) Headlights on. 

It is not just for us but for others to know we are traveling together as a group.

 2) Know the cars in front and behind you. 

We are traveling as a group, and so you are relying on the car in front and the car behind is relying on you. Know who is in front and behind.

 3) Keep the car behind you in sight. 

If you lose them, slow down. The car in front of you will slow down and this will allow the whole group to catch up.

 4) Keep up with the group. 

Maintain a safe following distance but try to keep up with the group. Hanging back so you can go faster may be fun, but makes it hard for other drivers. Anyone who intentionally leaves the group is no longer considered part of the tour and may no longer be covered under PCA insurance.

 5) Drive at a safe speed. 

It is PCA policy to obey all laws, but there is no substitute for good judgment – nothing ruins a fun day like an accident and there are plenty of places (like DE) where you can go fast safely.

 6) No passing. 

Stay in the same order you began the drive. This is key to maintaining a safe, fun event. Our goal is no incidents. We are out here to make new friends and have fun, so please appreciate your fellow drivers for making the effort.

 7) Be ready to lead or sweep. 

While we try to stay together, it is common for the group to separate. When the group is separated, you may find yourself as the lead or sweep.

 8) Know the directions. 

Everyone must understand and follow the turn by turn directions. If the group gets separated, and you find yourself as a lead car, you need to know where you are going and be aware that others are following you. 

 9) Use the rendezvous point to catch up. 

If we are in a larger group, we are going to get split up. We will follow the route and wait at the rendezvous point, so there is no need to drive aggressively to catch up. 

 10) If something happens, stop and call it in.

If someone has an incident or breaks down, call the Leader or Sweeper number immediately.
