Road-Safety Agency Moves to Suspend Valeria Aquino’s License After Video of 12-Year-Old Driving

The national authority cites a minor at the wheel with the seatbelt worn incorrectly, opening an administrative case.

Overview

  • Argentina’s ANSV requested the disqualification of Valeria Aquino’s driver’s license after her Instagram post showed daughter Alma, 12, driving on a rural road.
  • The agency reports two alleged infractions tied to the clip, including improper seatbelt use, and has begun formal proceedings.
  • The video was posted on December 25 and later removed as it circulated widely and drew complaints to regulators.
  • Ezequiel “El Polaco” Cwirkaluk said he had no prior knowledge of the recording and emphasized that his daughter was with her mother.
  • Online reaction remains split between claims of supervised learning in the countryside and criticism that the conduct was illegal and unsafe, while Barby Silenzi declined to comment.
