A MAN was charged with drink-driving after he was caught riding a motorized cool box full of rum and coke.
The device, purchased by Chris Petrie, 23, came complete with handle bars, wheels and a 50cc engine.
The cool box is mounted on a steel frame of the scooter-like vehicle and doubles as a driver's seat and can hold up to 48 bottles of beer.
[. . .]
Petrie's lawyer told magistrate John Parker that his client didn't realise the device would be classified as a motor vehicle and had not intended to break the law.
"It's an unfortunate situation - if he'd been drunk on a horse he'd have been ok."
