Twitter users circulated a video of a young man driving while burning fire in a container inside the car to stay warm in Saudi Arabia.

Many users criticized the man's recklessness and called on relevant authorities to arrest him and punish him.

The Saudi kingdom has witnessed a decrease in temperatures in recent days. The General Authority of Meteorology & Environmental Protection expected the cold wave to recede on Sunday.

Social media users have circulated photos of lakes, valleys and corals freezing as a result of the cold.

called on relevant authorities to arrest him and punish him.

What is a "relevant authority"? Is that the name of the Saudi highway patrol?

Or do they want the Koran Police to lash him for violating some medieval religious prohibition against driving while barbecuing.

“The Saudi kingdom has witnessed a decrease in temperatures in recent days.”

Did they want to prosecute him for not knowing how to turn on the heater?

All cultures are equal. /s

Reminds me of a friend who rented a house to some of the Saudis who flew on the Shuttle.

Some of their hanger-ons found this magical devise that when turned, delivered unlimited amounts of water. Since they lived in the middle of the desert, they saw this as a road to riches and tried to steal the devise.

They paid the 10’s of thousands of dollars in water damages.

When I was 16 or 17 my car had no heat. (decades ago)
I burned sterno pellets in a soup can for heat.
No problem.
Today I would not reccomend this.
