A security convoy uses more than one vehicle, usually a lead car, the client vehicle and a follow car. The lead car watches the road ahead, the follow car watches behind, and radios or phones keep everyone in contact. Spacing, speed and a plan for blockages are agreed before the trip starts.
Key takeaways
- Lead car watches ahead; follow car covers behind.
- Everyone stays in constant contact.
- Spacing matters: close enough to help, not to crash.
- Agree what to do if the road is blocked.
