6th Annual All Nissan/Infiniti/Datsun Bash Official Southern California Caravan Info:
First off, PLEASE make sure to TOP OFF YOUR GAS before coming... it's going to be a lot of driving. Time to buy breakfast will also be available along the way. *note: most get food at the jack-in-the-box at the industry location, so lines are long. WE WILL NOT WAIT FOR THOSE GETTING FOOD so choose wisely.*
IMPORTANT NOTES:
-First off, last year we had a couple people complaining that we were traveling too slow when we were driving with the flow of traffic. We are not racing from spot to spot. This is just a cruise. If you are looking to "smash" with people to the meet, we are not the group to go with. This has been very successful in the past with little to no incidents involving the police. We'd like to keep it that way.
-Second, at each meet location there will be a drivers meeting to briefly go over the rules and directions again, as well as any important updates in regards to our cruise.
-Last but definitely not least, PLEASE BRING RADIOS. (family-band two-way "walkie-talkie" style) If you don't have any, get some. Even the cheap-o ones have approximately a 5-mile radius which we shouldn't need. They help immensely with coordinating the group as well as relaying important information to everyone in the group, like detours, road construction and police.

Fairly Simple rules;
As with last year, we're using the 'two-lane' rule. This means when driving as a group we'll only take up two parallel lanes. This means you'll need to pay extra attention when driving with the group. A lot of exits/turns seem to come up quick when in such a large group so be sure to bee in the right lane early. (again, a good reason to have radios, as upcoming route directions will be broadcasted) Also, make sure to let others into the lane when they signal. It's not a race, and it'd be terrible to have someone get lost just cause some jackhole didn't let them in. This also goes for regular traffic. Sure we're all together, but we don't own the road. Use common courtesy and let others in, and don't cut others off.
No excessive speeding. Drive with the flow of traffic/the group. If you get pulled over, no one's stopping for you. If you want to get ahead of the pack to get video of everyone passing or what-have-you, that's fine but you do so at your own risk.
Turn your Running lights (Parking lights) on while with the group to identify you as such.
No racing/erratic lane changes, and this can not be stressed enough. I know it's tempting to have a bit of fun when you're surrounded by other modified cars, but remember there's a time and place... this is not it.
Two-way radios and cell phones are encouraged, as well as cameras and camcorders, however... please use them in a safe manner. Preferably used by a passenger. I will be announcing what frequency we are using on the radios at each location.
Last but not least lets make it a fun trip. Again, drive courteously, cautiously, and safely. It's going to be a lot of driving with an ever-changing scenery including some of CA's best coastlines. Enjoy it.
