Make the plan easy to understand
Before the drive starts, everyone should know the destination, the rough route, and the first regroup point. The plan does not need to be complicated. It just needs to be clear enough that someone can join late or recover if the group gets split.
A shared convoy code and live map context help keep the plan in one place instead of scattered across messages.
Do not pressure people to keep up
A convoy is not a race. Different drivers have different cars, comfort levels, passengers, and road conditions. Good etiquette means nobody feels like they have to speed, take risks, or run a light to stay with the group.
Use regroup points and ETAs so separated cars can rejoin safely.
Keep communication simple
Too many messages during a drive can make coordination worse. Live location should answer the basic questions without constant check-ins: who is nearby, who is stopped, and who is still on the way.
If something needs to be handled while moving, let a passenger manage the app or wait until the car is parked.
Respect private locations
Location sharing is useful because it is chosen. Do not add people to a convoy without context, pressure someone to share longer than they want, or treat a friend's location as public information.
Safe Zones, pause controls, and leaving a convoy all support the same idea: live location should help the drive, then get out of the way.
Leave places better than you found them
Meetups and group drives depend on trust: with each other, with venues, and with the roads being used. Park respectfully, avoid blocking traffic, keep noise reasonable, and follow local laws.
Convoy helps people arrive together and stay aware of the group. Use it for coordination, keep eyes on the road, and make the next drive easier for everyone.
