Sunak sorry for taking off seatbelt in moving car to record video about levelling up
The Prime Minister's spokesman said it was a "brief error of judgement" and he "fully accepts this was a mistake".
But anger at Mr Sunak's unsafe decision to take off his seatbelt – something that can lead to a fine of up to £500 - forced his spokesman to issue the apology."It was an error of judgment, he removed it for a short period of time to film a clip, which you've seen, but he accepts that was a mistake." The Government has considered toughening the law up so that motorists who don't use seatbelts get penalty points, while official statistics show some 30% of people killed in vehicles on the road were not wearing one.
