In trucks with a maximum authorized mass of less than 3,500 kilograms, which occupants are required to fasten their seat belts?
Traffic safety: Transported persons and cargo
Explanation
All occupants of a truck weighing less than 3,500 kilograms of MMA, that is, both the **driver** and the **passengers**, are required to fasten the **seat belt** if the vehicle is equipped with them.
- **General regulation**: All occupants of a vehicle that has seat belts must use them, regardless of whether they are drivers or passengers. This applies on all roads and streets, with some specific exceptions that do not apply to trucks of this type.
- **Exceptions**: Although there are situations where some drivers may be exempt from using the seat belt, these do not apply to trucks weighing less than 3,500 kg of MMA in normal circulation. The exceptions are for very specific situations, such as taxi drivers on duty or delivery drivers who must continuously get out of the vehicle.
Therefore, in a truck weighing less than 3,500 kg of MMA, both the driver and the passengers must have the seat belt fastened.
