^^that's really complicated Ken

I've managed to keep cars together when we have 30 cars going, and no need to split them up. 20 cars tends to be easy at this point. It's all a part of route planning. Right turn at red lights, or just all right turns lol. Also I tell my group we are continuing straight at all times, when we make a turn there will be a car waiting for them at that corner. That's one of the few methods I have. One guy here tried the different groups all in 1 cruise before and it was a disaster lol

Not at all, Mike. It was written as a beginners guide to drive leading. A lot of it is valid for Dragon drives. Nothing overly complicated about it at all, just (not so) common sense. I've led drives with 15 or 20 cars and, unless you are in Northern Ontario (Algonquin Park anyone?) it's impossible to keep everyone together and in the same drive. I've also been tailgunning drives where a slow driver in the middle of a group suddenly becomes the leader of his own drive group because he was playing with the CD player or talking to his passenger or doing anything other than paying attention.

And that person does not have a map or know where the group is going.

I won't say that's 100% correct, but it is 99.9999999% correct.

Ohhhhh I hate when this happens... One slow guy decides to let there be lots of distance between him and the car in front. Then all of a sudden he loses track of where the group is and ruins it for everybody behind him...What a nightmare when this happens.
