Correct answer
A driver during a reversing or parking manoeuvre.
A driver carrying out a reversing or parking manoeuvre. The exemption is limited to that manoeuvre and does not make the belt optional for the rest of the journey. Being a taxi driver does not create a blanket urban or interurban exemption. Other statutory exemptions exist, such as a valid medical certificate; not every occupant of every vehicle is required without exception to wear a belt on every interurban road.
