For those in doubt, please see the following; "SECTION 1. Section 27315 of the Vehicle Code is amended to read: (g) This section does not apply to a passenger or operator with a physically disabling condition or medical condition which would prevent appropriate restraint in a safety belt, if the condition is duly certified by a licensed physician and surgeon or by a licensed chiropractor who shall state the nature of the condition, as well as the reason the restraint is inappropriate. (Below is the paragraph cited:) This section also does not apply to a public employee, when in an authorized emergency vehicle as defined in paragraph (1) of subdivision (b) of Section 165, or to any passenger in any seat behind the front seat of an authorized emergency vehicle as defined in paragraph (1) of subdivision (b) of Section 165 operated by the public employee, unless required by the agency employing the public employee." The entire thing is covered by "The Private Passenger Motor Vehicle Safety Act". While I seldom agree with the Madera County SO, he’s absolutely right on this one.
