UK court hands Salah six-month driving ban

n n

Former Liverpool forward, Mohamed Salah, has been handed a six-month driving ban after failing to provide information identifying the driver of his Rolls-Royce when it was caught speeding in Cheshire.

n

According to court documents reported by the BBC on Monday, the vehicle was recorded by a speed camera travelling at 36mph in a 30mph zone in Wilmslow, Cheshire, on March 27.

n

Salah, 34, did not respond to a notice of prosecution brought by Cheshire Constabulary and did not enter a plea to the charge.

n

A court spokeswoman said Salah was prosecuted at Warrington Combined Court under the Single Justice Procedure, under which magistrates deal with certain cases in private hearings.

n

He was convicted of “failing to give information relating to the identification of the driver of the Rolls-Royce”, according to the court spokeswoman.

n

Salah was subsequently handed a six-month driving disqualification and ordered to pay £1,044.

n

The Independent reported that court records showed Salah “failed to inform police who was behind the wheel” when the speed camera recorded the vehicle.

n

The speeding incident came three days after Salah announced that he would leave Liverpool at the end of the 2025/26 season after nine years with the club.

n

Announcing his departure on March 24, Liverpool said Salah had “firmly established himself as one of the greatest players in Liverpool’s history”.

n

Salah scored 257 goals in 442 appearances for Liverpool before transferring to Turkish club Trabzonspor following the 2025/26 season.

n

The Egyptian has since continued his career in Turkey, where he plays for Trabzonspor.
