Thank you for spending time to write your lengthy reply even though I find that some of you comments are belittling and also not applicable.
Once more our warehouse floor is level and smooth, no cables or kerbs. On my last Instructors refresh I was told not to speak about injuries to legs ankles etc we are not medical professionals and plainly don't drive close to pedestrians. Yes I am an Instructor and have been for many years thank you. I'm sure Jonah If you drive you drive your car safely of do you drive your car the way you have been trained and tested or do you apply some common sense.

So lets look how the practical test sheet was constructed.

A group of senior Instructors/assessors that have looked at every aspect of driving/operating FLT. Looking at every hazard that could occur in a working environment. To cover us the Instructors. Isnt the operator allowed to apply some commonsense to his working environment ?

But thanks again for your view but please refrain from getting personal.

Regards Jason..
