What should be done if a driver feels fatigued while driving airside?

When a driver feels fatigued while driving airside, the most appropriate action is to safely stop the vehicle and take a break or seek relief. This response is essential for maintaining safety, both for the driver and for others who may be present in the airside area. Fatigue can significantly impair a driver's reaction times, judgment, and overall ability to operate a vehicle safely, increasing the risk of accidents and dangerous situations.

Stopping the vehicle allows the driver to rest and recover before continuing their duties, ensuring they are mentally and physically alert. This is particularly important in airport environments, which are often busy and require heightened awareness to navigate safely around aircraft, personnel, and other vehicles.

The other options may seem like quick fixes or methods to cope with fatigue, but they do not adequately address the root issue. Continuing to drive while fatigued can lead to serious risks, while drinking energy drinks or increasing radio volume may provide only temporary relief, without solving the underlying problem of tiredness. Prioritizing safety by stopping and taking a break is the best practice in this scenario.
