Social media star slammed for driving while filming
A Sydney based social media "personality" boasting almost 20,000 Instagram followers has been called out after she uploaded a video on Thursday night in which she brags about driving while on her mobile phone.
Calling herself @ninacanteven on Instagram, the so-called "influencer" and model with Neon Model Management seemed to laugh off the dangers of filming or talking whilst driving.
"I've been videoing and driving this whole time, but you know when you're good at something, you're just good at it," Nina Palangetic says in the video.
"Who's going to stop ya?
"Besides coppers? Coppers, punch them in the face."
The post caused an immediate backlash, with one follower writing: "Seriously, can we stop normalising such a dangerous thing?"

To which Ms Palangetic responds: "Seriously, can you f**k off?"
"No need to get nasty," the follower answers. "I just don't like the idea of someone like you killing my family."
The videos were taken down after followers complained and Ms Palangetic issued a public apology.
Just days ago, a Perth woman admitted in court that she was using her mobile phone to text her boyfriend just moments before she crashed her car, killing her friend who was sitting in the passenger seat.
