perfectly legal so long as he doesn't drive it on a public road ;)

I had a job which involved driving forklifts before I passed my 'proper' driving test :)

Yes it's legal, as long as he doesn't drive it on a road, and just drives it on site.

Yep, my mum always tells me she learnt how to drive a forklift before she learnt to drive a car, I assume its still the same now. :)

Just remember, it's *not* legal to use the forks to shift someone else's car out of the way to get yourself a parking space...! :eek:

I wrote a forklift off once, but the less said about that the better :)

Yeah, it does look like a fuel drop tank rather than a bomb.....
