British police on Friday fined Prime Minister Rishi Sunak for failing to wear a seatbelt in a moving car while filming a social media video.
Lancashire Police said in a Twitter statement not directly naming Sunak: “We have today issued a 42-year-old man from London with a conditional offer of fixed penalty.”
A fixed penalty means Sunak can pay a fine to avoid a court hearing.
Downing Street said in a statement that Sunak “fully accepts this was a mistake and has apologised”.
“He will, of course, comply with the fixed penalty,” it said.
