Show answer

Correct answer

  • BLos conductores cuando hacen la maniobra de estacionamiento o marcha atrás.Drivers when parking or reversing.
Explanation

The Traffic Regulations state that drivers who are reversing or parking are exempt from wearing a seat belt, because the seat belt can get in the way of doing these manoeuvres properly. The other two answers refer to roads outside built-up areas, and on these roads seat belts are always compulsory for all occupants of any type of vehicle.
