This guide is for volunteer drivers who offer to transport members to and from activities (carpooling), as well as their passengers. Carpooling is recommended for environmental considerations but not mandatory and members may choose to drive to the activity but need to be mindful some locations have limited space for car parking.
 

Meeting Locations

 
- The activity leader will designate a specific location and time for participants to gather prior to the event. At the meeting location, the leader may request volunteer drivers. The number of vehicles required will be based on the number of participants attending the activity
 

Driver Requirements

- The volunteer driver must hold a valid Australian driver's license or an equivalent recognized license permitting them to drive in Australia

- The driver is expected to operate the vehicle with care and must comply with all road regulations including not using a mobile phone while driving and observing speed limits
 

Vehicle Requirements

- The vehicle used for carpooling must be in good condition, roadworthy, and registered
- The BBW insurer does not cover any motor vehicle damage and BBW accepts no responsibility for any loss or damage to vehicles during carpooling
 

Passenger Requirements

- As a courtesy to your driver, include a change of clothes and footwear for your return trip and a dry-bag or plastic bag for dirty clothes/gear, especially if conditions are likely to be wet or muddy
