Correct answer
When carrying out a reversing or parking manoeuvre.
Drivers of passenger cars are generally required to wear a seat belt, a fundamental road safety measure. However, there are some specific exceptions to this rule. One of these exceptions is while carrying out reversing or parking manoeuvres. During these manoeuvres, drivers may need greater freedom of movement to turn and properly observe the space behind the vehicle, or to manoeuvre precisely into a parking space. For this reason, they are permitted not to wear a seat belt in these specific cases.
