Road-Safety Agency Moves to Bar Valeria Aquino From Driving After Video of 12-Year-Old at the Wheel

ANSV opened administrative proceedings citing traffic-law violations, including improper seatbelt use by the child.

Overview

  • Argentina’s road-safety authority requested the inhabilitation of Aquino’s license and began the administrative process after citizen complaints about her Instagram video.
  • The clip, posted on December 25, shows Alma Cwirkaluk, 12, driving on a rural dirt road as the agency notes the seatbelt was worn incorrectly.
  • Officials base the case on the National Traffic Law, which prohibits minors from operating motor vehicles in any setting.
  • Ezequiel “El Polaco” Cwirkaluk said he was unaware of the episode and took distance from it, and Barby Silenzi declined to comment.
  • Some outlets report the Instagram post was later removed, and the ANSV’s legal review remains underway.
