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

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

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

targhediferro · October 22, 2014, 08:04:10 AM

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 ?

So is he driving in an unconventional way ?
