Argentina Suspends License of Tucumán Driver Who Posted 170 km/h Videos With Child Unrestrained

Authorities opened an administrative review requiring psychophysical testing to determine his fitness to drive.

Overview

  • The National Road Safety Agency identified the Bella Vista resident after verifying clips of him speeding in a car at 160–172 km/h and on a motorcycle above 100 km/h.
  • One video shows his young son riding in the front seat without a seat belt, breaching rules that mandate rear seating with an appropriate child restraint.
  • Following public complaints, the agency asked the Tucumán licensing authority for a preventive suspension of his National Driver’s License.
  • The driver will be summoned for psychophysical and psychotechnical evaluations that will inform any decision on reinstatement or a definitive disqualification.
  • Officials reiterated that excessive speed sharply raises crash risk and warned that posting illegal driving can encourage dangerous imitation.
