Must ambulance drivers wear a seat belt in built-up areas when driving on an emergency call?
Active and passive safety
Explanation
**Drivers and passengers of ambulances** that are on **urgent duty** are **exempt from wearing seat belts** when driving within a built-up area. This is one of the exceptions to the general rule that requires all vehicle occupants to use seat belts.
- Ambulances, like other emergency vehicles such as police cars and fire trucks, have certain **exceptions** due to the nature of their work.
- These exceptions allow occupants to move more freely within the vehicle to attend to medical emergencies more efficiently.
Therefore, both the driver and passengers of an ambulance on urgent duty are not required to wear seat belts within a built-up area.
