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 in built-up areas, but not on motorways (autopistas), dual carriageways (autovías) or conventional roads. The old exemption for on-duty taxi drivers has been removed.
