one thing to communicate by phone and make the same journey at different times, but quite another to move in a sort of road train, which can be very dangerous. Two cars that are not as recommended, mostly because they often act as if they compose a convoy. Not to mention the case of three or more cars.
On more than one occasion I found these little groups that if they prevent you from going forward as a national or get between them. If the first is slow, so does the second form caravans and that very annoying. The worst is when the first car messes up and the others follow blindly. There is no reason to create chains of cars that endanger the safety of others.
For this sort of route I recommend using walkie talkies, which allows communication at no cost and arrange over much better trip. For example you can overtake a truck on national and notify the car that follows us whether there is possibility to do so safely. The same applies to warn that we will stop at a certain gas station, rest area or population, rather than abruptly to the unplanned maneuver.
Spending on the purchase of a pair of walkies and then pays for these devices are well suited for mountain hiking routes in general, mostly because there is not always very good coverage.
Beyond technological support, I would suggest to anyone traveling in two or more cars to plan your trip well in advance with the help a good map and not place undue reliance on browsers. There is no need to move as if it were a military convoy and can cause serious problems on the roads. That to prevent overtaking the car before us do not get separated only by a few minutes of our friends are all impolite and it is strictly forbidden.
