Trucks and conveyance thereof

[viking42]

After the theory test I did today (1 out of 110 questions wrong) and the practical test yesterday (which was over in half an hour or less), I am now certified to drive forklift trucks. I find this highly amusing, but as it lasts for life, I can drive one FOREVER!

Now, to work and abuse...utilise my new rights, as I can legally drive them.

Did you have to do the stupid computer gamelike they make you do for english theory tests? You know, the one where you click randomly to make them think you have percieved a hazard and then they fail you because they want another £40?

No, this was a pen'n'paper test (damn roleplaying terminology sneaking in. I blame the Technocracy).
I got a room to sit in, the test and a pen. It was a simple multiple-choice sheet, and after an hour or so, when I finished, the one that was there to correct the tests that had accumulated since last time he was in, looked it over and discussed it with me. Not that there was much to discuss, as I got mostly everything correct.

The theory test for car theory was on a computer, but it was simply a multiple-choice test as well. They allowed multiple correct answers per question, though, last time I did it.

Sorry...wha...why are you driving forklifts? You should use a forklift as your regular car. I can just picture you driving down the highway at ten mph in a giant forklift. It would be awesome.

I am driving forklifts at work, as I am working in a warehouse this summer. As we have high shelves, forklifts are required to access the higher ones.

Anything that cannot drive faster than 40kph is not allowed on the motorway in Norway, although I am allowed to drive it on public roads as long as I have a driving licence for cars.
