An ambulance travels on urgent service along an urban street in a built-up area. Is its driver exempt from wearing a seat belt on that basis?

Correct answer

Yes, because it is on urgent service on that urban street.

Yes. The exemption covers drivers and passengers of vehicles on urgent service in built-up areas; it does not apply on that basis on motorways, dual carriageways or conventional roads. A legal exemption does not require removing the belt: wearing it still provides protection. Outside that situation, the general obligation applies unless a separate legal exemption exists.
