Rishi Sunak facing backlash after failing to wear seatbelt in Instagram message

Telegraph, 19 Jan 2023
Rishi Sunak has been criticised after he appeared not to wear a seatbelt while in a moving car as he travelled across the country to promote new levelling up funding.

The Prime Minister was speaking in a video posted to his Instagram story and viewers noticed he had not belted up before starting his journey.

The law states that passengers who are caught not wearing a seatbelt could be given an on-the-spot fine of £100.
