Under Article 119.2 of the General Traffic Regulations (RGC) (as worded by Royal Decree 518/2026), in built-up areas only drivers and passengers of vehicles on emergency duty are exempt from wearing a seat belt, so neither taxi drivers nor their passengers are exempt. The only exception is that, in urban traffic or urban areas of large cities, a taxi may carry people under 135 cm tall in a rear seat without a restraint system suited to their height and weight.
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
