Question 5369

The driver of this three-wheeled vehicle equipped with a self-protective structure and seat belts, as recorded on its vehicle inspection certificate — is the driver required to wear a helmet?

  1. No, the driver is exempt.
  2. Yes, but only on conventional roads (carreteras convencionales).
  3. Yes, both on urban roads and on roads outside built-up areas.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: No, the driver is exempt.

No, the driver is exempt. The vehicle has a self-protective structure and seat belts, and this is recorded on its ITV card. With these three conditions met, the driver may go without a helmet, like the driver in the image, but must wear the seat belt on all types of roads.
