Accidents don't just happen! It's just that you have missed all the clues leading up to it! Made with Xara Web Designer There are many opportunities throughout the year to enjoy an organised ride out with other club members (see the club events list) but the IAM have set out certain guidelines which the club are obliged to follow. The following information is extracted from those guidelines, copies of which are held by all Observers. The Law Traffic laws must be obeyed at all times when riding on the Public Highway. At no time when participating in a Group Organised Ride will any person riding in the group be expected or required to act illegally. If there is a conflict between this Guide and the Law, the latter must take precedence. Please Note:- Any breach of the Road Traffic Act or any other regulation, legally enforced, may result in the group insurance being negated.   Eligibility The following may take part in a Group Organised Social Ride: • Senior Observer, Observer & Trainee Observer (who must be fully paid-up IAM and Group members) • Member (fully paid-up members of both the IAM and Group) • Associate (enrolled through A Skill for Life) • Members/Observers from other groups. They may be asked to show their membership cards. Please note that non-members are not permitted on club organised social rides.   Pre-Ride Briefing This is intended to be a fun social outing. Associates are welcome, but this rideout is not part of the EKAM Observing program. Please remember that your safety is your own responsibility, you should ride at your own pace and within your own abilities. You should comply with the law at all times.   RIDE FOR YOURSELF The format of the rideout will vary depending on the number of bikes taking part, the intended route and the ability of those present. We may use the drop off system, the buddy system or divide into smaller groups. If you are unsure of the system to be used, or the route, please speak to the ride leader.
