A person appears to be sitting in the passenger seat as the boy turns a corner.
One part of the clip shows the moment they encountered another road user.
Headlights can be seen in the distance and the boy stops the car after exchanging brief words with his dad.
The car cruised past their vehicle, and the child then continued to drive around the neighbourhood in José C. Paz, near Buenos Aires, Argentina.
The National Road Safety Agency (ANSV) intervened after the clip was posted online
The ANSV were able to identify the man and request the suspension of his driver’s licence over the reckless action.
It was found that he held a national driver’s license registered in General San Martín, as reported by Need To Know.
Additionally, the agency has requested that the driver be reassessed through road traffic examinations.
This is so that it can be determined whether he himself represents a risk on public roads.
The ANSV reiterated that this type of behaviour will lead to consequences to ensure compliance with road safety and rules.
