Blindly overtaking or blindly following the bike in front is not expected from an advanced rider. Anticipating\, preparing\, and then executing overtakes safely without delay or loss of available overtaking distance should be the norm for RoSPA advanced riders.

You’re responsible for making sure they don’t get lost and break up the ride. When making a change of direction and the following rider is out of sight\, wait and mark the direction change (stop in a safe location where you can be seen) until they arrive. When safe\, move off briskly allowing the following rider to take up your position marking the direction change. \nDo not ride slower where there is no turn-off to allow the rider behind to catch up\, this usually has the opposite effect and elongates the group. \nLook for safe and legal overtaking opportunities. While there is no overtaking within the group\, it is beneficial to make progress and safely overtake other road users to maintain the flow of the ride. Blindly overtaking or blindly following the bike in front is not expected from an advanced rider. Anticipating\, preparing\, and then executing overtakes safely without delay or loss of available overtaking distance should be the norm for RoSPA advanced riders. \nOn open rides Associates should only overtake if they feel comfortable about attempting the manoeuvre. \nDouble up at junctions. On final approach and whilst waiting at junctions all riders should aim to queue two-abreast and to make room for others to do this by their own positioning. The person you pull up next to must always move off first. Riders not at the front of the queue are expected to be watching the traffic so as they can move off with the rider in front of them if there is sufficient gap in the traffic. \nStaggered position This enables the following distance to be closed-up safely whilst still providing a good view and stopping distance to other riders. This is expected at lower speeds and in urban areas but is obviously sacrificed if it presents insufficient margin to nearside or off-side hazards.
