Rishi Sunak filmed a video in the back seat of his car traveling in the north of England without a seatbelt.
British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has been fined on Friday for riding in a car without a seatbelt to film a social media clip.
He filmed a video in the back seat of his car while traveling in the north of England without a seatbelt. On Thursday, the PM apologised, calling it a "brief error of judgement".
"Following the circulation of a video on social media which appeared to show a man failing to wear a seatbelt in a moving car in Lancashire, we have today released a 42-year-old man from London with a conditional offer of a fixed penalty," Lancashire Police said on Twitter.
Meanwhile, Sunak "fully accepts that it was a mistake and has apologised", adding that he will pay the fine.
Passengers not wearing seat belts, if available, can be fined £100.
A Fixed Penalty Notice is a sanction for breaking the law, and means a fine, which must be paid within 28 days, or contested.
If someone chooses to contest the fine, the police will review the matter and decide whether to withdraw the fine or take the matter to court.
