The officer spoke to the driver and warned him the Esky could not be legally driven on roads, but the man was seen a short time later driving the Esky in Para Hills.
Police said the Esky was a novelty import and could not be legally registered in South Australia or driven on roads. The Esky was impounded and the man was reported for driving unlicensed, and driving an unregistered and uninsured vehicle. He will appear in court at a later date.
"Police would like to remind the public that these novelty motor vehicles which includes the likes of pit bikes, motorised eskies and the likes cannot be registered and therefore cannot be legally driven or ridden on the road," Senior Sergeant Nils Uellendahl said. "They are for private property novelty use only and can be a danger to the drivers and other road users."

Motorised esky (eskies?) seem to turn up surprisingly frequently. Can this be narrowed down by area? Or is the an (unbeknownst to me) underground esky driving circuit?
Nasty bugger, the motorized Esky. You never know when one will appear, often in broad daylight, and carry off their victim. Their favorite prey seems to be men who drink a lot of beer and have no driver’s license.
