Is a taxi driver exempt from wearing a seat belt while driving?
- Yes, but only on urban roads, also when there are no passengers in the taxi.
- Yes, but only on interurban roads.
- Correct answer: Yes, but only on urban roads, when there are passengers in the taxi.
- Yes, but only if it is specifically indicated by a traffic sign.
Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: Yes, but only on urban roads, when there are passengers in the taxi.
A taxi driver is exempt from wearing a seat belt only when two conditions are met together: driving on an urban road and carrying passengers. On interurban roads, where speeds are higher, the driver must always buckle up. Even in town, when the taxi has no passengers, there is no exemption and the driver must wear the belt like any other driver. The exemption does not depend on a traffic sign.
