Argentine Father Films Son Driving Quad Bike

The National Road Safety Agency (ANSV) requested the revocation of the license of a young man who filmed his 5-year-old son while driving a quad bike after the video went viral on social networks. A 23-year-old young man filmed and posted on his social networks his son driving a quad bike on a route in the province of Buenos Aires, in addition to the minor being seen without a helmet in a wasteland in the same video. After going viral, the National Road Safety Agency (ANSV) identified the child's father and requested the revocation of his driver's license for his deliberate recklessness, sources from the body confirmed to the Argentine News Agency. 'The video shows a serious lack of responsibility: a child cannot drive any type of motorized vehicle on public roads. Furthermore, regulations state that quad bikes can only circulate in enabled safe corridors, never on roads,' they stated. ANSV authorities pointed out that the entity is attentive to these cases spread on social networks, where the search for likes often drives improper practices: 'Exposing a child to a high-risk maneuver - besides being illegal - not only violates traffic regulations but also endangers his life and that of others'.
