Argentina's Road-Safety Agency Seeks Suspension of Tucumán Driver Over 170 km/h Videos With Unbelted Child

ANSV ordered evaluations to determine the driver's fitness to resume driving.

Overview

  • The man from Bella Vista was identified after posting clips showing a Honda traveling at roughly 160–172 km/h and a separate ride on a motorcycle at over 100 km/h.
  • ANSV asked the relevant jurisdiction to suspend his National Driving License following public complaints and verification of the recordings.
  • The driver will be summoned for psychophysical and psychotechnical assessments before any decision on restoring his authorization to drive.
  • The videos depict his young son in the front passenger seat without a seat belt, contravening rules that require children to ride in the rear with proper restraints.
  • The agency emphasized that excessive speed sharply raises crash risk and noted that the social-media posts served as evidence prompting the intervention.
