Mohamed Salah handed six-month driving ban and £1,044 fine over Rolls-Royce speed camera offence

Mohamed Salah has been banned from driving for six months and ordered to pay £1,044 after a court found him guilty of failing to identify the driver of his Rolls-Royce, which was caught speeding in Wilmslow, Cheshire, on 27 March.

The 34-year-old did not respond to a notice of prosecution brought by Cheshire Constabulary and did not enter a plea to the charge. He was convicted under the Single Justice Procedure at Warrington Combined Court, where magistrates sit in private hearings, on the offence of failing to give information relating to the identification of the driver of the vehicle.

The speed camera recorded the Rolls-Royce travelling at 36mph on a 30mph stretch of road. Because Salah did not disclose who was driving at the time, the failure-to-identify charge was brought against him as the registered keeper of the car.

The incident occurred just three days after Salah, on 24 March, announced he would be leaving Liverpool at the end of the 2024-25 season after nine years at the club. Liverpool described him as having “firmly established himself as one of the greatest players in Liverpool’s history.” He scored 257 goals in 442 appearances before completing a move to Turkish side Trabzonspor following the conclusion of that campaign.

Salah, who captains the Egypt national team, now faces a six-month period off the road in addition to the financial penalty imposed by the court.
