Sydney -
Australian police arrested a man for driving a motorised ice box, a news report said on Tuesday.
Police said the insulated plastic drinks chest, or Esky as they are known in Australia, could not be used legally on public roads in South Australia state, abc.net reported.
The man was arrested late on Monday and reported for not having a licence and for driving an unregistered, uninsured vehicle.
Pictures showed the blue-and-white box mounted on a four-wheeled frame equipped with a petrol engine and a set of handlebars, being impounded on the back of a flatbed truck.
Such novelty motor vehicles “cannot be legally driven or ridden on the road,” Senior Sergeant Nils Uellendahl was quoted as saying, and were for “private property novelty use only.” -
