Offroad Safety Flag Guidelines

[Frederic]

A safety flag is one of the most important safety items during desert driving. It improves your visibility to other vehicles, allowing convoy members and approaching vehicles to spot you well before reaching the top of a dune.

Every off-roader is required to carry and use a proper safety flag on every drive.

Flag Requirements

Your safety flag must meet the following requirements:

* Height: The flag should extend 2–3 metres (7–10 ft) above the roof of your vehicle.
* Mounting: Install the flag vertically using a sturdy pole, preferably mounted to the roof or side window.
* Visibility: The flag must remain upright and clearly visible throughout the entire drive.
 

Approved Flag Types

The following flag types are welcome:

• Solid colour flags
• National flags
• Sports team flags
• Charity or social cause flags
• Custom personal designs

Not Permitted

The following are not permitted:

• Towels, rags, torn cloth, safety vests or plastic bags used as flags
• Political or religious flags
• Flags representing other off-road clubs
• Commercial advertising or brand promotion flags
• Flags containing offensive language, symbols or images

Respect the Club

Your safety flag represents both you and the Carnity Offroad Club. Please choose a design that is respectful and appropriate for a family-friendly environment.

Thanks @Frederic for this well defined off-road flag guidelines, as many people have asked me the same in newbie drives.
