BDifficulty 2/5

An adult passenger with no medical exemption or other applicable exception travels in a taxi with seat belts fitted. Must they fasten the belt even in a rear seat on a short journey?

Correct answer

Yes, they must fasten it in the rear seat too.

Yes. The duty applies to seats with belts fitted, including taxis and short urban journeys. The specific Article 119 exception for certain children under 135 cm in a taxi’s rear seat in urban traffic concerns child restraint systems and does not create a general rear-seat exemption for adults. The question excludes individual exemptions.
