Argentina’s Road-Safety Agency Seeks to Suspend Valeria Aquino’s License Over Video of 12-Year-Old Driving

Officials moved after a viral Instagram clip drew complaints, citing a traffic law breach plus improper seatbelt use.

Overview

  • The National Road Safety Agency (ANSV) opened an administrative process and requested the inhabilitation of Aquino’s national driving license.
  • Aquino posted the Instagram story on December 25 showing her daughter driving on a rural road, and reports say the video was later removed.
  • The agency said minors are prohibited from operating motor vehicles and noted the child’s incorrect use of a seatbelt as an aggravating factor.
  • Multiple citizen complaints to ANSV followed the clip’s viral spread, prompting the formal action now under review.
  • Ezequiel “El Polaco” Cwirkaluk said he was unaware of the recording and distanced himself, while Barby Silenzi declined to comment.
