Hillarys police were conducted patrols of the area when they spotted the man riding down the middle of West Coast Drive outside the Sorrento Surf Club on Friday night at around 8pm. The esky contained alcohol at the time he was stopped by police.
22-year-old Michael Craft, from Sorrento, said he was on his way to a servce station and didn’t think riding the motorised esky, which can only reach speeds up to 20km/h, on the busy road without any lights would be dangerous.

He reportedly told them he thought riding the motorised esky would be safer than driving his car. He was charged with driving under the influence and will appear in court at a later date.
