What should be checked during a VDI?

The correct choice involves checking the exterior, wheels, and tyres of the ambulance during a Vehicle Daily Inspection (VDI). This task is essential for ensuring the vehicle is in safe operating condition before being used for emergency response. The exterior inspection allows for the detection of any visible damage, leaks, or electrical issues that could impair the ambulance’s performance.

Examining the wheels and tyres is particularly crucial because they directly impact the vehicle's handling, braking capability, and overall safety on the road. Proper tyre pressure and tread depth are vital for maintaining traction and ensuring the ambulance can respond effectively to emergencies, especially under varying road conditions.

While assessing the driver's mental state, housekeeping measures within the ambulance, and personal belongings are important aspects of operational safety and readiness, they are not primary focuses during a VDI. The VDI is primarily concerned with mechanical and structural integrity to ensure the ambulance is ready for service without posing risks to the crew or patients.
