Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has been fined for not wearing a seatbelt in a moving car while filming a social media video.
Lancashire Police said it had issued a 42-year-old man from London with a conditional offer of a fixed penalty.
No 10 said Sunak “fully accepts this was a mistake and has apologised,” adding that he would pay the fine.
Passengers caught failing to wear a seat belt when one is available can be fined £100.
