Thanks all for clicking on the Totally Agree smiley. @AKR I have noticed that you have clicked on the Totally Agree on the Ban from Carnity Off-road club thread, but you have not Totally Agree on this drive thread, can you please click on the Totally Agree on this drive post, the first post on this thread.

@Incognitoes I have not seen your click on either of the threads as advised. Please comply before 6 pm as the calendar will be locked by 6 pm and anyone not clicked with Totally Agreed smiley on both thread will be removed from this drive.

Hi @andy_macdxb, great job bro. Please set your radio as per the below thread for all Carnity Channels being used.The Radio Channel to be used will be shared in the evening by 7 pm. However it is safe to have all the frequencies saved in case we need to change the frequency on the drive due to disturbance on the set Channel.

@Incognitoes can you please share a screenshot or the response you are getting when trying the click on the smiley. Please also advise if you are facing the same issue with both threads?

@Carnity can you please advise if there is any issues with the Carnity website or with @Incognitoes sign in as everybody else has managed to click on the smileys without any issues reported.

I cannot see the Totally Agree smiley on my original drive thread from @Incognitoes. @syed salman raza, @andy_macdxb and @AKR. Please respond with Totally Agree smiley on the first post on this drive thread to keep your places in tomorrow's drive. If I do not see the smileys your name will be removed and convoy numbering will be announced without your names, which means you will not be accepted on tomorrow's drive.

This drive is organized in full compliance with the COVID19 guidelines. We expect every member that joins this drive to respect and follow these guidelines strictly in order to not jeopardize someone's health and to ensure we can keep organizing these drives.

MUST READ: Not following these rules and precautions = Not allowed to drive.

No Gathering | No Briefing | No BBQ | No Eating Together | No Touching | No Hugging

We are only allowed to drive through the desert, as we are driving on the road now. So we will only do the desert driving just by sitting inside our cars at all the times and leave the drive without socializing or coming close to each other.

Just like before we like to continue our desert drives through out the year, but this time we need your immense support to understand the strict control and to help everyone follow them all the time.

How to maintain "STRICT" Social Distancing

  • Meeting point will be set slightly (100m - 200m)  inside the desert track.
  • You individually deflate your tires on the tarmac before reaching the meeting point.
    • While deflating tires, stop cars 10 meters away from any other car.
  • Drive signup on calendar will be closed on Thursday morning by 9 AM.
  • Convoy numbering and briefing will be posted here on this drive post before 6 PM on Thursday.
  • All participants need to read & acknowledge the briefing by clicking "Totally Agree" reaction image.png
  • Switch on your radio when you reach the meeting point on the set frequency advised by the trip lead in the critical briefing here.
  • Once everyone reaches to the meeting point, everyone stay inside the car at all the times.
    • Trip lead will do the roll call, convoy numbering recap, critical briefing over the radio.
    • Any suggestions or issues will be discussed over the radio too.
    • You can also speak to other members through the radio only.
    • So please make sure that your radio battery is fully charged.
  • Once all set, trip lead will start the drive as before.

 

Refusal and Recoveries with Social Distancing

  • Every drive will have 1 lead Marshal and 1 or 2 supporting senior members/crew.
  • Whenever there is a stuck or refusal, only a Marshal / Senior Member / Crew is allowed to handle the situation.
  • Everyone else including the stuck car driver, stay inside the car - AT ALL TIMES.
  • Marshal / Senior Member / Crew is only allowed to step out to access the situation and do the recoveries:
    • They will wear mask and gloves at all times when they are outside their car.
    • They will try to help self recover through the radio guidance.
    • If not they will use required recovery gear and do the needful (shovel, tug or winch, as required).
    • If at any time Marshal require help, then only you are allowed to step out by wearing face mask and gloves at all times.

Drive completion and inflation

  • There will not be any gathering or sitting down together for food-break like before.
  • Once drive is finished, after reaching the tarmac, everyone is requested to move away 50-100 meters before starting their inflation.
  • For drivers having no compressor, can head to the near by fuel station.
  • If drive is ending at a place where there is no fuel station near by, then trip lead will inform in advance so that drivers having their own compressor can join only.
  • Strictly no sharing of compressors, radio, shovel or any recovery gear, at any times.

Mandatory things you require to attend the drive

  • Face mask - at least TWO face mask is needed in case one get damage or fly away.
  • Disposable rubber gloves - at least two sets are needed.
  • Wear face mask and gloves at all the times, when you are out of your car.
  • Carry plenty of hand sanitizer and object sanitizer (spray).
    • Use your sanitizers generously, whenever you step out to help or recover.
    • Sanitize your hands before getting back into your car.
    • Sanitize your recovery gears, if you have used them.
  • Fully charged and programmed radio - without any excuse - No radio = No drive.
  • Shovel - Must for every car, to do little self recovery
  • Safety flag - Must for every car, like before
  • Compressor - If joining the drives that is ending far from the fuel station.

Mandatory precaution that you need to take at all times

  • Do not step out of your car UNLESS/OTHERWISE advised by Marshal / Senior Member / Crew.
  • No shaking hands, hugs or touching each other.
  • No sharing of food, drinks or recovery tools.
  • If you are not feeling well, please stay at home and take a lot of rest.
  • If you have travel in last 14 days, then please do not attend this drive.
  • If you feel unwell during the drive, please let trip lead know so he can plan an early exit.
  • Not more than 3 pax in a car and if all 3 aren't living together, then they should wear the mask inside the car too.

Two Way Radio Guidelines

  • Every Offroader brings his own radio, programmed to the frequencies described in below advice topic.
  • We will not share spare radios or program your radio on the drive. If you need assistance in programming the radio, post a topic on the Carnity website with your questions and we will help you out. 
  • Make sure your radio is fully charged. It will be your only way of communication while driving.
  • Before buying, please carefully read below advice so you are informed properly on which model / cost / shops...
  • No radio = No drive. It is an essential tool and you should make sure you bring it on every drive and learn/practice how to use it.

@Incognitoes your reaction has already been captured on this drive post, only you need to click on the same smiley "Totally Agreed' on the below thread.

@AKR still waiting for you to click on my original drive post with the "Totally Agreed" smiley.

Can you see if everything is ok, for my RSVPs now? Everything that needed to be clicked should have been clicked on my end now?
