I would definitely argue with someone from OSHA over it. When a car's controls are in neutral, no one ever assumes that means the key is not in the ignition or specifically not in the car whatsoever. I would definitely cite my 8 years of driving lifts and dozen times talking to OSHA where it was no a problem. If they want keys stored when machines aren't in use, that's got to be written specifically.

I think that's tough to argue. In a forklift controls are always "neutralized". Lift, tilt, shift, etc all put themselves into neutral when you're not using them. And an ignition key in the off position, hard to argue that's not neutral. That's semantics that I think really wouldn't hold up.

I just have a... thorough imagination.

Oh well that doesn't say anything about where the keys are left.

Keys stored on the lift/ignition?

Odd I never heard of it. I drove lifts for 4 different companies and never was told that.

Getting it to your place would be the hardest part. Not being seen by someone inclined to call the cops, basically. They're slow, so you'd have to do it when there's no traffic to back up. Maybe like 2:45/3:00 in the morning. Well after bars close, but before the super early work shifts start. You'll want to bring extra fuel, and maybe chose something with tires that can drive a bit faster.

It's really impressive how often keys are left in the ignition or just somewhere on heavy machinery like this. They probably won't change anything and just hope no one else has the same idea.

Done the exact same thing

So your assumption is that athletes are consistently guessing when the start time is? The science of reaction time doesn't support your BS.

I see

I listened to a pretty extensive podcast on the issue. It's lead to runners purposefully hesitating in order to not get DQed for false starts. It's screwing over the athletes who are actually just the best at what they do, and everyone involved knows it but won't do anything.

It has nothing to do with him breaking rules. The logic behind him "false starting" is that he predicted when the start would be (based on nothing) and started one one thousandth of a second before that; infinitesimal odds of that being the case. Elite runners having faster reaction times than .1 seconds has become a common phenomena. This is a case where the rules are provably far behind the times and based on defunct science.

Oh okay. Yeah that makes sense because mine is too. Her parents are french so they wouldn't know your parents either.

Nice try pal. This is the internet. You don't have a girlfriend.
