Under Article 119.2 of the General Traffic Regulations (RGC) (as worded by Royal Decree 518/2026), drivers and passengers of vehicles on emergency duty are exempt from wearing a seat belt in built-up areas, but not on autopistas (motorways), autovías (dual carriageways) or conventional roads. The old exemption for taxi drivers on duty has gone.
