Correct answer
- CNo, cuando lo haga en servicio de urgencia.No, when on an emergency call.
Under Article 119.2 of the General Traffic Regulations (RGC) (as worded by RD 518/2026), drivers and passengers of vehicles on an emergency call are exempt from wearing a seat belt when driving in built-up areas, but never on motorways (autopistas), dual carriageways (autovías) or conventional roads.
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
