Britain Police fined Prime Minister Rishi Sunak on Friday for not wearing a seat belt while he filmed a social media clip in the back seat of a moving car.
Rishi Sunak, who apologized on Thursday for a “brief error of judgment”, had uploaded the video to Instagram during a trip to northwest England. It was widely shared by other users who noticed that he had not buckled up.

Local police had said later that day they would investigate and confirmed late on Friday that an offense had taken place.
It is the second penalty for Sunak received from police after last year they found he broke COVID-19 lockdown rules, along with then-prime minister Boris Johnson.
It is to be pertinent that Rishi Sunak becomes the second prime minister after Johnson to have broken the law in such a manner.
