By agreeing to register for this trip you have read, understood and agreed to the AD 4x4 Indemnity.

During this trip, everyone must abide by the rules as laid down by the Leading Marshal/Explorer. This will include the following.

1) All participants will follow the route of the leader UNLESS you as an individual do not feel it is within your capacity to do so, in this case you will stop and seek assistance.

2) The trip timing is determined by the trip organiser. NO ONE should leave the desert alone before the end of the trip, and then, only when accompanied by a Marshal/Explorer. If the trip does not fit in with your own timeframe, should you attend in the first place? Vehicle is to be mechanically sound and MUST be fitted with recovery points.

3) It is the responsibility of the driver to determine whether it is safe to take passengers, especially children on a trip by trip basis. Young children MUST be seated in an approved car seat in the rear of the vehicle, OR securely fastened with seat belts in their own designated rear seat, and not sitting on drivers/ passengers laps.

4) Strict convoy positions and spacing is to be followed at all times.

5) Free play and Showing off is not allowed at any time during the trip, unless in a designated "Play Area" identified by the leader. During this time the Leading Marshal will organise the queue for dune climbing or side sloping. No one is allowed to play alone outside of the " Play Area "
If you have children with you, you MUST supervise them at all times and keep them away from any "Play Area" Children WILL NOT be allowed in parents cars who are taking part in the "Play Time" and will be supervised by the organising Marshal or an appropriate adult.

6) Recovery of a stuck vehicle is the sole responsibility of the Sweeper OR other person designated by the Leader. No one else will interfere with the recovery unless specifically asked to do so by the Sweeper or Leading Marshal. This may not apply during Newbie instruction trips, when you will be given a chance to learn & practice recovery techniques.

7) The ONLY people allowed to drive at the side of a convoy are Marshals who will be assessing people on their driving skills and to offer advice and assistance to the leading Marshal or designated trip leader

Failure to follow the above rules will result in the offending member being verbally warned by the Leading Marshal. Any reoccurrence will result in the offending member receiving Black Points which will automatically lead to a ban from further trips for a designated period decided by the Committee.

These rules are for your safety & the safety of everyone else on the trip and your co-operation is appreciated.

This is pretty comprehensive. Thanks Iguana.

I do think that a point about radio discipline should be added as well.

Hi Joyce, unfortunately some people never listen and refuse to follow any instruction, advise or even strict order. This is not only dangerous for themselves but might endanger other members in the same trip. Black points will work like traffic fines that we all know and might have experienced already . :roll:

Safety First !
