Correct answer
- ASí, siempre.Yes, always.
Spanish rules, in Article 116 of the General Traffic Regulations (RGC), state that all drivers and occupants of motor vehicles must wear a seat belt, however long the journey. This means that even on a short journey in a built-up area, wearing a seat belt is compulsory, and not doing so is a serious offence. So the correct answer is 'Yes, always'.
