Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Drivers when performing a backing-up or parking maneuver.
The driver may go without a seat belt while backing up or parking, on any road. Taxi drivers have no exemption. Emergency vehicles have an exemption in built-up areas. Outside those areas, only the person caring for the patient in a medical ambulance remains exempt.
