Nice one James.

Can I just add in one more point.
I have had the pleasure of leading or tail end charlie-ing many ride outs over the years and have had to stipulate this point more than once.

We are not allowed to stop or direct traffic to facilitate the groups passage through junctions etc.

I have seen a few car drivers get irrate at this but more soberly witnessed confused drivers who have nearly collided with the group or another road user.

Just my observation, I can say that since doing several ride outs for ABR groups that this has never happened. Long may it continue.

I know mate, I've done many a ride out as well as Marshall duty and was not going to give too many specific examples of illegal actions for fear of making the post too confusing BUT that is a good safety point and an error that many fall into, NEVER on ABR so far I'm pleased to say. It will also be covered in another document I am drafting up.

Not wishing to be thick but how do you normally tackle traffic lights where the group could be split into 2 or even 3 in some built up areas?
the reason I ask is that I fear the answer isn't as obvious as it sounds.
Quite often there may be no where for the leader to pull over at the other side.

It doesn't matter. The system means the group can be spread out over many miles and as long as everyone keeps to the rules everyone will go the right way. The only limit is the number of riders as eventually the ride leader will not have a number 2 to drop off.

Very true about the doesn't matter

. The system just keeps running. If need be the Number 2 rider that was at the back just becomes the Number 2 rider again and it just keeps on repeating.
