Correct answer
No, it is not compulsory if the safety belt is fastened.
In the case of motorcycles fitted with safety belts or protective structures, as in the image, occupants are exempt from the compulsory use of a helmet. Instead of a helmet, they must use the safety belt. Traffic regulations establish that helmet use is compulsory for riders and passengers of motorcycles, three-wheeled vehicles, quadricycles, mopeds and special vehicles such as “quads”. However, there is an important exception for vehicles fitted with approved protective structures and safety belts, such as some specially designed motorcycles. If these features are duly recorded on the vehicle’s technical inspection card, occupants may travel without a helmet provided that they are wearing the safety belt fastened.
