British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has been issued with a fixed penalty notice by police for failing to wear a seatbelt while filming a social media clip in the back of a moving car, reported German Press Agency.
Sunak had previously apologised saying it was a “brief error of judgement” as he carried out a series of visits in Lancashire on Thursday.
Sunak was spotted not wearing his seatbelt in an Instagram video he filmed while promoting the levelling-up funding during a visit to the North of England.
Lancashire Police said: “You will be aware that a video has been circulating on social media showing an individual failing to wear a seat belt while a passenger in a moving car in Lancashire.
“After looking into this matter, we have issued a 42-year-old man from London with a conditional offer of a fixed penalty.” UK law places a GBP500 fine for the offense, roughly RM2300.
