'This was a mistake': Rishi Sunak sorry for taking off seatbelt to film video

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.

He is prime minister for God sake so he should know better, doubt he ever wears a seat belt

Ffs petty petty petty! There’s more to be fixed than this shit

Why would you take your seat belt off anyway to make a video 😕

Is Sunak lying? Does he ever bother to put one on so can he actually say he took it off?

Sure he wasn’t being driven … unlike driven to the edge like the public

Sad as f*ck

Oops again

I’m sure all those fined for not wearing one also said sorry, so bring on this lawbreaker’s £500 fine.

Isn't that a finable offence?

The government make the rules and the Conservatives break them

He isn’t
