Correct answer

  • CNo, excepto el conductor y cuando esté realizando la maniobra de marcha atrás o de estacionamiento.No, except the driver while reversing or parking.
Explanation

The Traffic Regulations state that all drivers must wear a seat belt, except while reversing or parking, because the seat belt can get in the way of doing these manoeuvres properly. On roads outside built-up areas, seat belts are always compulsory for all occupants of any type of vehicle.
