Correct answer
- CNo.No.
Under article 119.2 of the General Traffic Regulations (as worded by RD 518/2026), drivers and passengers of vehicles on emergency services are exempt from wearing the seat belt when driving in built-up areas, but not on autopistas (motorways), autovías (dual carriageways) or conventional roads. After the reform, this exemption no longer applies to taxi drivers on duty, goods delivery drivers or people accompanying a driving school learner.
La exención alcanzará igualmente cuando circulen en poblado, pero en ningún caso cuando lo hagan por autopistas, autovías o carreteras convencionales, a los conductores y pasajeros de los vehículos en servicios de urgencia.Read the full rule
