How should a driver react to weather changes while driving on the airfield?

Adjusting speed and driving technique according to visibility and surface conditions is crucial for ensuring safety while driving on an airfield. Weather changes can significantly impact visibility, traction, and overall driving conditions. For instance, rain, fog, or snow may reduce visibility and make surfaces slippery, increasing the risk of losing control of the vehicle.

By modifying speed, a driver can maintain better control of the vehicle and respond more effectively to unforeseen circumstances, such as the need to stop quickly or maneuver around obstacles. Additionally, adapting driving techniques, such as increasing following distance and making gentle turns, helps provide a safer driving environment for both the driver and others on the airfield.

Maintaining a constant speed regardless of conditions can lead to accidents, as it doesn't account for the variations in weather that impact how the vehicle behaves on different surfaces. Similarly, increasing speed to ensure timely arrival may create hazardous situations, especially if the weather makes maneuvering more difficult. While reporting weather conditions to air traffic control is useful, it doesn't directly address how a driver should adjust their driving behavior in response to those conditions.
