UK PM Rishi Sunak Apologises For Removing Car Seat Belt

British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak on Thursday apologised for a "brief error of judgment" in removing his seat belt to film a social media video while driving to a destination in north-west England. Sunak's Downing Street spokesperson said he had only briefly removed his seat belt and admits he made a mistake. In the UK, passengers caught failing to wear a seatbelt while in a car, unless covered by a valid medical exemption, can be given an on-the-spot fine of 100 pounds, increasing to 500 pounds if the case goes to court. "That was a brief error of judgement. The PM removed his seat belt to film a small clip. He fully accepts this was a mistake and apologises about it," Sunak's spokesperson said.

Sunak filmed a video to promote his government's new Levelling Up Fund announcements to fund over 100 projects around the country. Police motorbikes could be seen esco…
