What must a person provide to be exempt from wearing a seat belt for medical reasons?

To be exempt from wearing a seat belt for medical reasons, a person must provide a medical certificate stating that it is inadvisable for them to wear a seat belt due to their specific health condition. This certificate serves as official documentation from a qualified medical professional, indicating that the individual has valid reasons for not wearing a seat belt, which could be related to physical disabilities, injuries, or other medical issues that could be aggravated by the restraints of a seat belt.

The requirement for a medical certificate ensures that there is a legitimate and verified basis for the exemption, rather than allowing individuals to self-determine their need for an exception. It also helps maintain road safety while accommodating those who have genuine medical conditions that warrant such an exemption.
