| Passing in formation
Riders who are riding in a staggered formation on a two lane highway should pass one at a time. The lead rider should pass when it is safe and legal. After passing safely, the leader should return to the right lane position and continue riding at a speed that will allow room for the next rider. After the first rider completes the pass, the second rider should move into position and watch for a safe chance to pass. Use this procedure for the remaining members of the group. Each rider should wait until there is enough room ahead of the vehicle being passed to allow the rider to move into the same lane position held before the pass. This is safer and less confusing than crowding together in front of the passed vehicle. It is best to move into a single-file formation when approaching sharp curves, turns, bridges or narrow roadways. Remember the two second following distance rule.
