Ausnahmegenehmigung für die Gurtanlege- und Helmtragepflicht beantragen

Under certain conditions, you can apply for an exemption from the obligation to wear a seatbelt and helmet.

In order to protect road users, the legislator has stipulated that seat belts must be worn while driving and that safety helmets must be worn when driving motorcycles.

However, it is possible to be exempted from this obligation on request. The resulting considerable safety risk is borne by the applicant.

Exemption from the obligation to wear a seat belt is possible,

• if it is not possible to wear seat belts for health reasons.
• if the height of the applicant is less than 150 cm.

Exemption from the obligation to wear a helmet is possible,

• if it is not possible to wear a safety helmet for health reasons.

If the requirements for an exemption are of a medical nature, a medical or specialist certificate must be submitted stating that the exemption to be applied for is absolutely necessary for medical reasons. The certificate does not need to include a diagnosis.
A medical certificate with the measured height must also be provided for those under 150 cm tall.

The decision is free of charge for severely disabled persons.

The exemption is revocable and granted for a limited period of one year - unless the medical certificate states that the exemption must be granted indefinitely as the state of health will no longer improve.
