Driving a forklift is..........

Driving a forklift is............ pretty damn scary if you sat sideways on and in reverse, steering it with your left hand, trying to hold onto the bumbling bouncing machine with the other, and it has no door or seatbelt, so if you emergency stop/brake hard you could fall out and have it then run you over!

And thats just my first day!

Will I make it through the week?

looks like this, notice the open cab so if you reverse and stop quick.........

It should have a seatbelt. Atleast the one that I have used does. If it doesn't, what yrean said is true. you will get used to it.

do you get to race the forklift? like in Shenmue?

and if you win, you get tiny models of the forklifts
