​The Villages BMW Z Club endorses safe driving for all of our drives.
To assure the safety of our members when on Club drives, we have established the following set of guidelines:
Gathering Prior to Drive
  1. Be at the gathering location at least 15 minutes prior to the schedule leave time.
  2. Be sure you have enough gas to get to all locations on the drive.
  3. Become familiar with the maps and directions for the drive.
  4. Listen to the drive captain during the driver's meeting for any special instructions.
  5. Use the restrooms if necessary before the drive begins.
 
Leaving Gathering Location
  1. Drive captain will be the first car out.
  2. Winner of the Z-Fest "Best in Show" member (if present) is the second car out.
  3. The Pre"Z"ident of the Club will be the third car out.
  4. All other cars should fall in behind in an orderly manner (please wait your turn and don't sneak in front of someone else).
  5. The lead car should wait until cars are lined up behind before entering public roadway.
 
While on the Road
  1. Drive with courtesy to obey all driving laws.
  2. Keep a safe distance behind the car I front of you.
  3. Do not lag too far behind the car in front of you (we don't want to stretch out the caravan).
  4. When approaching a stop light on a four lane road, pull along side to other members so as many member cars can get through the light as possible.
  5. Do not speed up to go through a yellow light.
  6. Do not play "cat and mouse" with other members (you are not on a race track).
  7. ​HAVE FUN!!!!
