Texting at the wheel is very dangerous and should not be condoned!

Otto Puzzell · October 22, 2014, 05:46:53 AM

:D

Not that. His car was not in motion at the time this picture was taken.

Spanish?

Otto Puzzell · October 22, 2014, 08:43:25 AM

No sir. His name is likely Italian, but he was born elsewhere.

nicanary · October 25, 2014, 07:03:16 AM

From Argentina ?

Nope

Does he need to drive a car to achieve his feat, or is it something else ?

Alright :)

So is he driving in an unconventional way ?

Otto Puzzell · October 27, 2014, 11:56:07 AM

His manner of driving is quite ordinary. It is the circumstances of the drive make it noteworthy.
