Correct answer
Yes.
The main purpose of the seatbelt is to protect the life and physical safety of a vehicle's occupants in the event of a collision or sudden braking. The driver of a car must wear a seatbelt, even on short journeys. Traffic regulations establish the obligation to use approved seatbelts both when driving on urban and interurban roads. There are no exceptions for short journeys, as the seatbelt is a fundamental measure for the safety of all vehicle occupants. This regulation aims to prevent serious injuries in the event of an accident, regardless of the length of the journey.
