If you are driving a truck with a Maximum Authorised Mass (MAM) of less than 3,500 kg, who is obliged to wear a seatbelt?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Traffic regulations state that the use of seatbelts is mandatory for both the driver and all passengers in vehicles intended for the transport of goods (trucks) and mixed vehicles with a MAM of less than 3,500 kg. This obligation applies on all types of roads (urban and interurban). The seatbelt is the most effective passive safety element, and failing to use it in this type of vehicle carries the same penalties and risks as in a passenger car.
