PM fined for not wearing seatbelt in moving car
Rishi Sunak was seen not wearing his seatbelt in the back of a moving car while filming a video for social media
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has been issued with a "conditional offer of fixed penalty" by Lancashire Constabulary for failing to wear a seatbelt while filming a social media clip in the back of a moving car.
Lancashire Constabulary said a 42-year-old man from London was issued with a conditional offer of fixed penalty following a video circulating on social media showing a passenger not wearing a seatbelt in a moving car in the county.
In a statement, the force said: "You will be aware that a video has been circulating on social media showing an individual failing to wear a seatbelt while a passenger in a moving car in Lancashire.
"After looking into this matter, we have today (Friday, January 20) issued a 42-year-old man from London with a conditional offer of fixed penalty."
Downing Street previously said the Prime Minister, 42, had made a "brief error of judgment" by removing the safety device as he promoted his levelling up funding in an Instagram video when he visited Lancashire on Thursday.
Mr. Sunak, who is also the MP for Richmondshire in North Yorkshire, was previously fined for attending a party during the coronavirus lockdown in June 2020.
