The drivers of motor vehicles and agricultural or forestry tractors and the persons who occupy seats equipped by construction with approved seat belts or safety devices must wear them during travel on public roads, regardless of whether they occupy the front or rear seats of the motor vehicle and regardless of whether they travel in the urban area or outside the urban area.

Nevertheless, the road legislation provides certain exceptions from the obligation to wear the seat belt; among the exceptions are the persons who have a medical certificate in which the condition that contraindicates wearing the seat belt is mentioned, as well as women in a visible state of pregnancy, these two categories being exempt from this obligation.

The road legislation DOES NOT provide an exception from wearing the seat belt for children up to 12 years old. In the case of transporting children in motor vehicles, the road legislation is very strict; for them there are special obligations that must be well understood.

For more information regarding the rules that must be respected when transporting children, access the Audio-Video lesson “Chapter 8 part 7 - Obligations and prohibitions regarding the transport of children” from step 1 on Școala Rutieră.
