London: British PM Rishi Sunak was fined recently for not wearing a seat belt in the running car, media reports said.

Lancashire Police tweeted: "Following the circulation of a video on social media showing an individual failing to wear a seat belt while a passenger in a moving car in Lancashire we have today (Friday, Jan 20) issued a 42-year-old man from London with a conditional offer of fixed penalty."

Sunak, who was filming a social media clip at the time of the offense, received a “conditional offer of fixed penalty” by Lancashire Constabulary, reports CNN.

A Downing Street spokesperson on Friday told CNN the British leader “will of course comply” with the penalty.

“The Prime Minister fully accepts this was a mistake,” the spokesperson added.
