The Prime Minister has been issued with a fine after being found to have not been wearing a seatbelt whilst travelling in a moving car.
Rishi Sunak was handed a “conditional offer of fixed penalty” by Lancashire Constabulary after he was filmed for a social media snippet while sitting in the back of a car.
Officers from Lancashire said last night that they would be investigating the video of the PM that showed him not wearing a seatbelt whilst in a moving vehicle.

The Conservative leader had to issue a red-faced apology after facing criticism online, the Daily Record.
The police service said that it would "look into" a video of Mr Sunak not wearing a seatbelt in a moving car last night.
A spokesman for the Prime Minister, who posted the clip on social media, said it "was a brief error of judgement".
He said: "He accepts it as a mistake. And as I say, he apologises for it.
"The Prime Minister believes everyone should wear a seatbelt and once again, I think I've made clear that there was an error or judgment. He removed it for a short period of time to film a clip which you've seen but he accepts that's a mistake."
Mr Sunak uploaded the video to his official Instagram account, which has 1.3million followers.
