Correct answer

  • Bdebe utilizarlo, salvo exención médica expresa.must wear it, unless she has an express medical exemption.
Explanation

Pregnancy does not exempt you from wearing a seat belt: correctly positioned, it protects both mother and foetus. The lap strap must go below the bump, over the hip bones, and the diagonal strap between the breasts. Only a woman with a medical exemption certificate is exempt.
