Are the driver and occupants of an ambulance required to wear a seatbelt when driving on urban roads during an urgent service?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Spanish regulations establish specific exemptions for seatbelt use. In the case of drivers and passengers of priority vehicles (such as ambulances), they are exempt from wearing a seatbelt, but only when meeting two simultaneous conditions: 1) They are performing an urgent service, and 2) They are driving on urban roads (built-up areas). If driving on interurban roads, seatbelt use would be mandatory, unless serious medical reasons regarding the patient prevent it.
