The trucker who fatally struck a teen riding his bike in Brooklyn had a suspended license — which he bragged about on social media — but he escaped felony charges because state law is soft on offenders.

Philip Monfoletto, 28, plowed into 13-year-old Kevin Flores in Bedford-Stuyvesant on Friday evening while driving an oil truck with a license that had been suspended by the DMV.

But he was only charged with aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle in the second and third degree, along with being an unlicensed operator — all misdemeanor offenses.

That’s because drivers in New York only face felony charges if their license has been suspended 10 times on 10 separate days.

Monfoletto’s license had five suspensions covering multiple infractions, ­according to the Brooklyn DA’s Office.

“It’s awful. We gotta figure out how to get justice,” Flores’ uncle, Steven Castillo, said at his Ridgewood, Queens, home on Tuesday.

Monfoletto was turning onto Jefferson Avenue from Lewis Avenue when he hit the teen, who had been riding his blue bicycle alongside the Mack truck, around 5:45 p.m.

The trucker, who drives for M&M Oil, didn’t see the boy and continued for a block before a witness told him he’d hit someone, prosecutors said.

Kevin was rushed to Interfaith Hospital with severe head trauma — and later died of his injuries.

Last year, Monfoletto bragged about driving with a suspended license, sharing another user’s Facebook photo that said: “How can u drive knowin yo license suspended.”

Next to the photo was a video of a man driving with one foot on the steering wheel — and another up in the air.

“Catch me if you can,” Monfoletto captioned the creepy post, adding zipped-lips and ghost emojis.

But Monfoletto has been caught before — several times, in fact.

On July 7, 2017, he was busted in Queens for second-degree assault and driving without a license.

Less than six months later, he was arrested again, this time in Suffolk County for driving without a license and pot possession.

Monfoletto was also busted twice in 2014 — once for aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle, police said.

He was released on $2,500 bail for his most recent arrest, and is due back in court March 18.

Kevin’s uncle was shocked by the trucker’s brazen Facebook post, adding that he doubts Monfoletto is truly remorseful for his role in his nephew’s death.

“He’s an awful person. He should be ashamed of himself,” Castillo said.

“I’m sure he feels the same way right now. I’m sure he was surprised that his bail was so low. That’s not cool.”

State Sen. Mike Gianaris (D-Queens) said he hopes the web post prompts a change in the law.

“Hopefully the brazenness of this guy bragging about breaking the law on social media will kick people in the ass to do something,” he said.

Joanna Oltman Smith, a safe-streets advocate, insisted that reckless drivers need to be held “accountable for their actions.”

“[Brooklyn DA] Eric Gonzalez’s team need only look at this perpetrator’s Facebook page to see he was fully aware of the illegality of his actions,” Smith told The Post.

“As a mother of boys near Kevin’s age who use bikes to travel around New York, it is of great concern to me that there are drivers on our roads who seem to value human life so little.”

Monfoletto’s truck belongs to M&M Oil, which lists a Philip Monfoletto as its principal. It’s unclear how they are related.

Philip Monfoletto’s lawyer, Ronald Rubenstein, brushed off his client’s Facebook post, saying it’s not relevant to the case.

“It’s a funny thing for a guy who knows his license is suspended and can’t drive, and he’s posting something to be funny,” he said.

“I don’t think it’s ironic because the fact of the matter is, none of the witnesses suggest that the driver of the oil truck was doing nothing wrong.”

Rubenstein also insisted Monfoletto’s suspended license shouldn’t matter.

“The bottom line is the evidence in the case is, whoever was driving was driving properly,” he said. “Nobody could have driven better if they had a license or didn’t have a license.”

A GoFundMe page for Kevin created by Evan Kilgore, an aspiring artist from Ridgewood, has already raised more than $10,000.

“We spent the day today with Kevin’s classmates who struggling [sic] with this loss and asking how they can help,” the page says.

“They wanted you to know what a warm and positive person Kevin was, and how driven he was to achieve his goals.”

Kilgore on Friday shared a picture Kevin drew at his school, the Launch Expeditionary Learning Charter School, of his beloved bike.

“He learned bike repair in our school’s Recycle-A-Bicycle program, and borrowed tools from the program to give his bike a tune up,” the post read.

“He used his bike to shorten his commute from Ridgewood and was proud that he was no longer arriving late to school.”
