Man convicted drink driving motorised cool box

Man convicted drink driving motorised cool box. Chris Petrie, 23, purchased the AUS$630 (£400) vehicle, which consists of a beer cooler strapped to a 50cc scooter, from the internet. As any man interested in such a conveyance would, he promptly filled the cooler with beverages as soon as it arrived.



Alas, Mr Petrie couldn't help enjoying a few as he assembled the scooter, and when it came to take it for a test ride, he was a little worse for wear.

'By the time we built it was quite late. So we thought we'd go for a bit of a test run,' said Mr Petrie.

However, cops pulled over the driver of the unusual contraption and breathalysed him, finding Mr Petrie to be three times over the legal blood-alcohol limit.

In court to receive his sentence, Mr Petrie told the judge that the cooler box had been 'fully loaded' with cans of rum and cola.

The drink-driving charge, combined with the fact he did not have a licence, earned him a ten-month ban and a AUS$500 fine.

Also receiving a drink-driving ban this week was Blackburn Rovers manager Steve Kean, who will be without his licence for 18 months after a judge dismissed his claim that his drink had been spiked.
