Rishi Sunak apologises for 'error of judgment' over Instagram video filmed in back of car
The prime minister has issued an apology after a social media video captured him in the back of a moving car without his seatbelt on.
Wearing a seatbelt in a moving vehicle is a legal requirement - failing to follow this law can result in a fine of up to £500. However, there are a few exceptions including when a car is being used for police, fire and rescue services, and for certified medical issues.A Downing Street spokesman said Mr Sunak “fully accepts this was a mistake and apologises". They added: "The Prime Minister believes everyone should wear a seatbelt.
Labour said Mr Sunak’s video was adding to “endless painful viewing” after he was previously seen struggling to make a contactless payment with his card. “Rishi Sunak doesn’t know how to manage a seatbelt, his debit card, a train service, the economy, this country,” a spokeswoman for the party said.Mr Sunak was previously criticised for flying to Blackpool in an RAF jet funded by taxpayers.
