Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Article 117(2) of the General Traffic Regulations provides that in vehicles with more than nine seats, including the driver's, passengers are informed of the obligation to keep their seatbelts fastened by the driver, the guide or the person in charge of the group, by audiovisual means or by signs or pictograms placed in visible locations at each seat. If there are no audiovisual means, signs or pictograms, the duty to inform falls on those people, and the driver is not exempt from that duty. Limiting it to interurban journeys on the grounds that on urban roads the seatbelt does not have to be fastened is a mistake: the obligation applies on both urban and interurban roads (Article 117(1)).
