Man done for DUI in golf cart

Police have charged a Northern Territory man with drink-driving after he was allegedly found cruising along a footpath in a golf cart more than two kilometres from the nearest golf course.

The 28-year-old man, who owns the buggy, was pulled over at 1am by police in Katherine, about 300 kilometres south of Darwin.

Police say he recorded a blood alcohol level of 0.14 per cent.

He allegedly told police he thought getting home in his golf cart would be safer than driving his car .

The man has been charged with medium range drink-driving and driving an unregistered vehicle.
