Correct answer

Under Article 118.1 of the General Traffic Regulations (RGC) (as worded by RD 518/2026), riders and passengers of mopeds must wear a protective helmet, properly fastened, on all types of road, urban and interurban. The reform removes the old exemption for people with a medical certificate.
