Correct answer
- ASí, siempre.Yes, always.
According to Article 118.1 of the General Traffic Regulations (as worded by RD 518/2026), moped riders and passengers must wear a properly fastened protective helmet on all types of road, both in and outside built-up areas. They are exempt only if the vehicle has a protective structure and seat belts and this is stated in its documents, which is not the case for a conventional moped.
