The lead vehicle
One chauffeur is designated lead for the movement. He holds the master running order, sets the departure, confirms when the group is complete and decides the sequence at the destination. The other vehicles follow his timing rather than their own reading of the traffic.
This matters most on the road. Convoys break up at traffic lights and on motorway junctions, and a following car that drives to keep up rather than to a plan is a safety problem. Every chauffeur has the full route and the destination access, so a separated vehicle continues and rejoins at the next agreed point.
