A video of an expat who allegedly drove his car under the influence on Jalan Thamrin-Hassanudin, Denpasar went viral on social media and received negative reactions from the Bali community. The incident that occurred on Sunday morning around 9:30 am was recorded by some locals as they attempted to stop the man from driving his car uncontrollably.

In the video, the man who drove a Nissan Juke was ignoring the people who were attempting to stop him.
