On a motorcycle whose protective structure and belts are recorded in the ITV card, may the rider use the helmet exemption when the belt is correctly fastened?

Correct answer

Yes, in this documented situation, while wearing the belt.

Article 118.1 exempts occupants of the vehicles covered when protective structures and safety belts are fitted and recorded in the ITV card or corresponding document. They must wear the belt when travelling. Merely adding a belt, or having a structure without the required documentation, does not meet this exception. The current rule also exempts occupants in this documented situation from the generally required gloves and closed footwear; it does not remove the belt requirement.
