Police caught Chris Petrie driving the esky along Noosa Parade just before midnight on June 16.
When breath tested (we doubt it was a ‘random breath test’), the 23-year-old blew 0.160 – more than three times the legal limit. He did not have his driver’s licence with him at the time of the incident.
The eksy in question is powered by a 50cc two-stroke engine and has a top speed of 20km/h.
In court yesterday, Mr Petrie’s lawyer told Magistrate John Parker his client was not aware that an esky was classified as a vehicle.
