British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has been fined for not wearing seatbelt in a moving car while filming a social media video.

According to Lancashire Police,it had issued the 42-year-old man from London with a conditional offer of a fixed penalty.

The police said Mr Sunak “fully accepts this was a mistake and has apologised”, adding that he would pay the fine.

Passengers caught failing to wear a seat belt when one is available can be fined £100, and can increase to £500 if the case goes to court.

The prime minister was in Lancashire when the video was filmed, during a trip across the north of England.

It is the second time Mr Sunak has received a fixed penalty notice while in government.
