Correct answer
- BSí, siempre.Yes, always.
Under Article 119.2 of the General Traffic Regulations (RGC) (as worded by RD 518/2026), in built-up areas the seat belt exemption only covers drivers and passengers of vehicles on an emergency call; the old exemption for goods delivery drivers has been removed. The general exemptions of Article 119.1 still apply, such as when reversing or parking.
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
