Mohamed Salah Banned From Driving in England for Six Months After Rolls-Royce Speeding Case

Former Liverpool superstar Mohamed Salah has been banned from driving in England for six months after being convicted of failing to identify the driver of his Rolls-Royce when the vehicle was caught speeding in Cheshire.

The case relates to an incident on March 27, 2026, when Salah’s Rolls-Royce was recorded by a speed camera travelling at 36mph in a 30mph zone in Wilmslow, Cheshire. According to court records, authorities subsequently sought information identifying the person who was driving the vehicle at the time.

Six-month driving ban

Salah, 34, was prosecuted at Warrington Combined Court under England’s Single Justice Procedure and was convicted of failing to provide information relating to the identification of the driver.

Importantly, reports indicate that the punishment relates to the failure to identify the driver, rather than a separate conviction for the speeding offence itself. The speeding charge was reportedly withdrawn.

The Egyptian forward was handed a six-month driving disqualification and ordered to pay £1,044 in total, according to a court spokeswoman. Other reports break that amount down into a £660 fine, £120 in court costs and a £264 victim surcharge.

Case dealt with in Salah’s absence

The proceedings were handled under the Single Justice Procedure, which allows certain cases to be considered by magistrates without the defendant attending court in person.

Reports say Salah did not respond to the notice of prosecution and did not enter a plea. The case was therefore resolved in his absence.

The incident occurred shortly after Salah announced his departure from Liverpool. On March 24, 2026, the Egyptian confirmed that he would leave the Premier League club after nine years at Anfield.

His driving case therefore came at the end of an extraordinary chapter in his Liverpool career, before he subsequently moved to Turkish football.

Rolls-Royce at the centre of the case

The vehicle involved was reportedly a Rolls-Royce Spectre, a high-end electric luxury car. Reports have described the vehicle as being worth around £400,000.

The speed-camera incident took place in Wilmslow, Cheshire, just three days after Salah announced his impending Liverpool departure.

Not Salah’s first speeding offence

The latest case is not the first time Salah has faced consequences for a driving-related incident in England.

In 2022, he was reportedly fined £200 and given three penalty points after his Ferrari was recorded travelling at 63mph in a 50mph zone in Stockport.

A separate incident in 2018 involved footage that appeared to show Salah using a mobile phone while driving near Liverpool’s Anfield stadium. Police ultimately decided not to prosecute because there was insufficient evidence.

Salah’s football career continues in Turkey

The driving ban comes as Salah begins a new chapter away from English football.

After leaving Liverpool following the 2025–26 season, the Egyptian forward moved to Trabzonspor in Turkey. His departure brought an end to a highly successful nine-year spell at Anfield, during which he established himself as one of the club’s most prolific goalscorers.

According to The Independent, Salah scored 257 goals in 442 appearances for Liverpool, winning two Premier League titles, the UEFA Champions League, two League Cups and the FA Cup, while also collecting four Premier League Golden Boots.

The driving disqualification applies to England. It does not prevent Salah from continuing his professional football career in Turkey.

What happened?

The key facts surrounding the case are:

• Date of speeding incident: March 27, 2026
• Location: Wilmslow, Cheshire
• Recorded speed: 36mph in a 30mph zone
• Vehicle: Rolls-Royce Spectre
• Issue leading to conviction: Failure to identify the driver
• Court: Warrington Combined Court
• Driving ban: Six months
• Financial penalty: £1,044
• Speeding charge: Reportedly withdrawn

The case has attracted significant attention because of Salah’s global profile, but the court ruling itself concerns the legal requirement to provide information identifying the driver of a vehicle, rather than a standalone conviction for speeding.

For one of football’s biggest stars, the six-month driving ban represents an unusual development away from the pitch. Salah’s football career, however, continues in Turkey as he begins life after Liverpool.
