For me I passed my test and on the first day nearly tipped the forklift. I still feel bad about it.

Breaking traction when driving through a puddle.

I assumed they are super heavy and would stick to the ground, nope.

The tyres are essentially treadless drift-tyres, and any water on a polished concrete surface will allow some sliding.

This was without load and no crash ensued, just a momentary boost in adrenaline as 1.5 tons is moving a different direction as expected.

Having driven in a cooler of a big box store, yeah those things will slide forever on wet concrete. Super fun when you’re rushing to get work done for the day.
