Under Article 119.2 of the General Traffic Regulations (RGC) (as worded by Royal Decree 518/2026), the seat belt exemption in built-up areas is limited to drivers and passengers of vehicles on emergency duty; taxi drivers on duty are no longer exempt. Like any driver, a taxi driver may only go without a seat belt while 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
