Though that is another story, I taught my kids when following someone the person in front puts the blinker on and when it's safe the person in back gets into the lane first so that the front car can then move in safely.

Why is this so hard for people to understand? :dunno:

And why don't people in the trail position switch preemptively when they know it's going to need to be done? :dunno:

Yeah. It's great until your convoymates blow a toll and leave you behind to deal with the local constabulary.
