The BBC has apologised for a 'mistake' after presenter Amol Rajan was filmed in the back of a taxi not wearing a seatbelt during a documentary.
Broadcast in December last year, Mr Rajan’s How to Crack the Class Ceiling explored how young people from working class backgrounds can secure jobs in Britain's elite professions.
Mr Rajan is one of the most prominent presenters at the BBC and presents a number of high profile shows including Radio 4's Today program and University Challenge - earning a reported £330,000 a year.
In the programme at around 11 minutes in, Mr Rajan can be seen being driven through what appears to be Central London addressing the camera whilst not wearing a seatbelt.
It is illegal to not wear a seatbelt in a moving vehicle and carries a potential fine of up to £500 according to the Metropolitan Police.
