Queensland Man Busted Drink Driving Motorised Esky

We’re not sure if Christoper Ian Petrie was driving the same cruzin’ cooler we’ve covered in the past, but we know it was powered by a 50cc motor, and that the magistrate ruled it a qualified vehicle, slapping the 23-year-old with a 500 buck fine.

“How much beer can it hold?,” the magistrate asked. The answer: “at least a couple of cartons.” I love Australia.

Problem was that Christopher was more than three times the legal limit when he got breath tested in June. Not cool. What’s the bet that this won’t be the last time we hear about Esky shenanigans, either. [Fox News]
