As a general rule, must a pregnant woman use the seatbelt fitted to a car?

Correct answer

She must use it, as it is compulsory as a general rule.

Yes. Pregnancy alone does not exempt someone from wearing a seatbelt. Correct use helps protect mother and foetus: the lap strap should sit low across the hips, below the abdomen, and the diagonal strap between the breasts and over the breastbone, without resting on the belly or remaining loose. Article 117’s general duty is subject to article 119’s legal exceptions, such as an exemption certificate for serious medical reasons or disability; pregnancy or discomfort alone is insufficient.
