British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak Fined for Seat Belt Violation

The UK police have fined Prime Minister Rishi Sunak for filming a clip for social media while he was moving in a vehicle without putting on a seat belt.

“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,” Lancashire Police said in a statement.

Sunak, who apologised on Thursday for what he called a “brief error of judgement”, filmed a video in the back seat of his car while travelling in the north of England, without wearing a seat belt.
