There is a designated cruise controller who will lead the way and set the correct pace for all cruise members.3. Use the Buddy system - always make sure you can see the car behind you. This will give people behind you an indication on where to turn to make sure nobody gets lost.4. CB Radio’s - if you don’t have one, follow the maps and directions given out.
