BDifficulty 1/5

Under the rules in force from 1 October 2026, may a medical certificate be used to claim the former bicycle-helmet exemption on interurban roads in Article 119.3?

Correct answer

No, that exemption was repealed.

No. Article 119.3 was repealed and Article 118.2 requires a helmet on interurban roads. Do not confuse that former exemption with the medical certificate for seatbelts in Article 119.1.b. If a medical condition makes helmet use difficult, seek advice on carrying out the activity safely; do not assume the repealed exemption still applies.
