Police looking into Sunak’s failure to wear a seatbelt

No 10 says PM fully accepts mistake' as Lancashire Constabulary say they are making inquiries

Police are looking into Rishi Sunak's admission that he failed to wear a seatbelt while filming a video for his Instagram account in the back of a moving vehicle - an apparent breach of the law.

A spokesperson for Lancashire constabulary said on Thursday evening they were aware of matter and were making inquiries. According to his government's own safety campaign, any driver or passenger not wearing a seatbelt is breaking the law and is liable to be fined up to 500.
