The briefing will have safety information as well as any particulars that have come up for that mission.\n\nEach person who rides on a PHG mission is responsible for his/her own skill/comfort level. Physical needs may also be a factor in your participation. PHG ask that you use good judgment before participating in a mission.\n\nIt is the policy of Patriot Honor Guards that the following will not be tolerated.\n\nBreaking of motor vehicle laws.\n\nNo running of stop signs. The group will slow and wait for you to catch up.\n\nCutting in front of a motor vehicle. Leave the proper spacing when moving back in front of a motor vehicle.\n\nCutting in and out of lanes.

If motor vehicles need to merge from a ramp fall back and give them space. The Ride Captain will regroup after the vehicle has gone.\n\nAll those who participate in Patriot Honor Guards as escorts do so at their own risk. \nPHG is not responsible for any accidents that may happen during an escort due to human or mechanical error. \n**SPECIAL NOTE: Safety is of our utmost priority. Every effort possible is made in planning and executing the PGR Mission statement in a manner that minimizes the inherit dangers of riding a motorcycle\, including riding in groups of all sizes and any situation. While the NCPG\, and it’s riders have a remarkable safety record in the execution of our missions\, infrequently members have been injured in unforeseen accidents. In an effort to mitigate the risk of preventable accidents\, all attendees who wish to ride in a Patriot Guard motorcycle escort or ride are asked to attend the pre-mission briefing. It will include a safety briefing\, and any unique ride information known to our RCIC that may be specific to the mission. Member safety and well-being is always a principal ongoing concern\, our RCIC’s are asked to stand-down from any mission that cannot be accomplished in relative safety or unreasonable risk. This includes both rides and flag lines in inclement weather and conditions. It remains each individual PGR member’s responsibility to ride within their own comfort zone and be cognizant of their surroundings and skill limitations as well as any physical needs or limitations. If the ride and/or mission conditions present challenges beyond your skill\, comfort\, or needs you are expected to exercise good judgment in foregoing any planned participation.
