May a taxi driver drive without a seat belt in built-up areas?
Active and passive safety
Taxi drivers are allowed to drive without a seatbelt when they are on duty within a town or city, as the regulations provide an exception to facilitate their work.
Explanation
Taxi drivers have a special exception regarding the use of the **seat belt**. Although generally all drivers and passengers must wear the seat belt on any type of road, taxi drivers can drive without it **when they are on duty** and **within built-up areas**. This means that while they are working and driving through the streets of a city or town, they are not required to use the seat belt. However, this exception does not apply when the taxi is driving on roads, highways, or motorways, where the use of the seat belt is mandatory for everyone.
