When is it necessary to utilize a vehicle's flashers while driving on the airfield?

Utilizing a vehicle's flashers while driving on the airfield is primarily necessary when the vehicle is parked or poses a hazard to others. This alerts other drivers and personnel to the potentially unsafe situation, helping to prevent accidents and ensure the safety of everyone on the airfield. Flashers serve as a visual warning that indicates the vehicle is either stationary or in a position that may not be expected in regular traffic flow.

This practice is crucial in an airport environment where aircraft, ground vehicles, and personnel share the same space. It enhances visibility, especially in potentially hazardous situations, and is an important part of airfield safety protocols. Therefore, using flashers in these scenarios maximizes awareness and contributes to overall airfield safety.

In contrast, while high speeds, nighttime conditions, and foggy weather can create challenging driving situations, they do not specifically warrant the use of flashers unless a vehicle is stationary or a hazard. Flashers are not intended for general driving, regardless of speed, nor are they a requirement solely due to time of day or weather conditions without an associated risk.
