You are driving a goods delivery vehicle on a road within a built-up area. In which circumstance may you drive without wearing a seat belt?
Traffic safety: Transported persons and cargo
Explanation
For drivers of goods distribution vehicles, there is an exception to the general rule of using the **seat belt**. This exception applies when performing **successive loading and unloading operations** in places located at a **short distance**.
- During these operations, it is important for the driver to be able to move easily to perform their work efficiently and safely.
- Loading and unloading operations should preferably be carried out off the road, but if they are done on the road, certain precautions must be followed, such as minimizing loading and unloading time and avoiding causing unnecessary inconvenience.
- This exception allows the driver to perform their work without the restrictions of the seat belt, as long as the distances between loading and unloading points are short, thus facilitating the logistical process.
Therefore, in these specific circumstances, the driver is authorized not to use the seat belt.
