Explanation

Under Article 119 of the General Traffic Regulations (RGC) (as worded by RD 518/2026), in built-up areas only drivers and passengers of vehicles on an emergency call are exempt from wearing a seat belt; taxi drivers, delivery drivers and people accompanying schoolchildren no longer are. The general exemptions remain: the driver when reversing or parking, and people with a medical exemption certificate.
