That's very interesting. In Washington State, there is no exemption. On top of that, the city I work for requires that ALL employees wear a seatbelt at all times the vehicle is in motion. How do I know, 30 years as a firefighter and the last 5 as a safety officer.
I might add that, if you are involved in an accident in a state that requires wearing a seatbelt and are injured, you will likely not recover any damages and possibly not be covered by insurance because you broke the law and contributed to your own injuries because of negligence.
