Is the driver of a 60-seat bus required to fasten the seatbelt if the driving position is equipped with this device?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Under the traffic regulations, the general rule is that every occupant of a vehicle whose seat has a seatbelt or other approved restraint system is required to use it, properly fastened, while driving. This applies fully to the driver of a bus, regardless of the number of seats of the vehicle or its maximum authorized mass (MAM). Among the driver's exceptions are reversing or parking maneuvers and the exemption certificate for serious medical reasons (General Traffic Regulations, Article 119). Saying that the seatbelt is only for passenger cars is false, and so is saying that it depends on the bus weighing less than 3,500 kg MAM: the obligation does not depend on those factors.
