My car will turn the lights off after X amount of minutes (x being a value you can set), and will turn off the interior lights after something like 30 minutes if you leave them on.

I used to work at the worlds shadiest lumber yard. I worked it over a summer during college, and they gave me no formal fork lift training other than "here's what the levers do, don't break anything". Now that might be fine if these were somewhat normal forklifts, but they weren't, they were massive machines with 3-speed manual transmissions (clutch included!) that were capable of 25+ mph and contained GM 3.8L V6 engines running propane. They were fun, but man, looking back, that was dangerous. This is also the same yard that made me do deliveries in a semi truck (complete with piggyback forklift, making it even longer than a normal semi) with no experience beyond "I can drive stick" and no cdl. I actually refused to do deliveries after a couple times because I never felt safe. The first time I took it anywhere I couldn't figure out how to shut it off because I didn't know you had to choke the motor to stop it. After that I did smaller deliveries in the Chevy stake truck OSHA

FIRST TIME posted:I consider myself a pretty good forklift driver and decent with a stick shift in a car but the thought of combining those two things sounds like it would require a good amount of multi-tasking. Yeah it was a steep learning curve. One of the first jobs they had me do was unload 20ft bundles of treated lumber off an enclosed train car, which involved going up and down an incline with like the heaviest lumber load you can have. Any time you were on an incline it was a nightmare to work the forks and keep the thing where you wanted it with the brake and the clutch. I got really good at holding the clutch, and heel-toeing the brake and throttle because of course the idle was set too low for them to lift more than 10lbs at idle speed.
