Overview
- A 23-year-old father filmed and posted his five-year-old driving a quad on a Buenos Aires route, with the child shown at times without a helmet.
- The National Road Safety Agency (ANSV) identified the adult and requested the suspension of his driver’s license, calling the conduct a serious offense.
- Officials said they acted ex officio based on the video as evidence to discourage dangerous practices that endanger the child and other road users.
- The suspension request was sent to the corresponding court, which will decide the duration and scope of any sanction.
- ANSV reiterated that minors cannot operate motorized vehicles on public roads and that quads may circulate only in jurisdiction-designated safe corridors, noting provincial rules such as Córdoba’s follow the same criteria and seasonal controls often increase.
