A motorcyclist in Argentina's Buenos Aires province has had his driver's license suspended until the year 2099 for engaging in extremely dangerous driving maneuvers. The individual was observed performing stunts such as "wheelies", lifting the front wheel off the ground, and weaving erratically between moving vehicles while standing on the motorcycle's seat. These actions were captured on video by the motorcyclist himself and subsequently shared on his social media accounts.

The resolution to suspend the license was issued by the Ministry of Transportation of Buenos Aires after the Undersecretariat of Security and Road Policy reviewed the footage. The videos clearly depicted the driver performing highly perilous stunts on public roads. Based on this evidence, the authorities decided to impose a preventive suspension of the license until 2099.

Sources indicate that this suspension currently applies only to the license issued within the Buenos Aires territory. For a nationwide driving ban, the National Road Safety Agency (ANSV) would need to intervene, according to current regulations. Officials from the Buenos Aires government stressed that such reckless behavior not only endangers the rider but also poses a significant risk to other road users.

The Ministry of Transportation emphasized that public roads are not venues for stunts or challenges, highlighting the severe threat these actions pose to overall road safety. The statement concluded by underscoring the responsibility that comes with driving, stating, "Driving means taking responsibility for every decision and for those who share the public road."
