'How fast does that thing go?': Man filmed riding beer carton car down street

A man has been filmed riding a beer carton – which he converted into mini-car – down a busy street.

Bizarrely enough the incident wasn't filmed in Australia but rather in Brazil.

Police officers captured the tiny esky-like yellow contraption making its way down the right hand lane.

"Look at Belo Horizonte's new transport, that guy created a motorbike with a beer carton" one officer says nonchalantly to the other before the pair drive up beside the beer carton driver.

After pulling up beside the man one of the officers yells out the window: "Got any beer?" to which the man laughs and replies, "no, I can't drink".

"What's the max speed?" the officer asks.

"60km/h," the man replies.

As the officers begin to drive away the man toots his horn prompting a fit of laughter from police.

Earlier this year a 22-year-old Australian man was stripped of his licence by West Australian police after he was caught driving a motorised esky while drunk.
