Show answer
Correct answer
- ASí, excepto el conductor cuando haga marcha atrás o aparque.Yes, except for the driver when reversing or parking.
Explanation
Article 117 of the General Traffic Regulations (RGC) requires the driver and occupants to wear the seat belt fastened on any road. Under Article 119.1.a, the driver may go without it when reversing or parking. Discomfort is not an exemption, and taxi drivers do not have a general exemption either.
