Under Article 119.2 of the General Traffic Regulations (RGC) (as worded by Royal Decree 518/2026), in built-up areas the seat belt exemption only covers drivers and passengers of vehicles on emergency duty; the old exemption for goods delivery drivers has gone. The general exemptions in Article 119.1 still apply, such as reversing or parking.
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
