Former Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah has been banned from driving in England for six months after failing to identify the driver of his Rolls-Royce when the vehicle was caught speeding in Cheshire.
The 34-year-old Egypt captain was convicted after police recorded the luxury car travelling at 36mph (58km/h) in a 30mph (48km/h) zone in Wilmslow, Cheshire, on March 27.
According to court documents, Cheshire Police issued a notice requiring information about who was driving the vehicle when the speeding offence occurred. Salah did not respond to the notice and did not enter a plea to the charge.
The case was heard at Warrington Combined Court under the Single Justice Procedure. A court spokeswoman said Salah was convicted of failing to provide information relating to the identification of the driver.
He was handed a six-month driving ban and ordered to pay £1,044 in fines and costs.
The original speeding incident occurred just days after Salah announced that he would leave Liverpool at the end of the 2025-26 season, bringing his nine-year spell at the Premier League club to an end.
Liverpool announced Salah’s departure on March 24, praising the Egyptian forward for his contribution to the club and describing him as one of the greatest players in its history.
Salah joined Liverpool in 2017 and became one of the club’s leading goalscorers during his time at Anfield. He made 442 appearances for Liverpool and scored 257 goals across competitions.
His performances helped Liverpool challenge for major domestic and European honours during his time at the club. He also established himself as one of the most recognised Egyptian footballers in the world and continued to captain his national team.
Following the conclusion of the 2025-26 season, Salah left Liverpool and transferred to Turkish club Trabzonspor.
The driving case is separate from Salah’s football career, but the court ruling means he will be unable to legally drive in England for the next six months.
The conviction relates specifically to his failure to provide information identifying the driver of the vehicle. The court did not convict him simply for being the person who was driving at the time of the speeding offence.
Salah’s six-month ban and financial penalty bring the legal proceedings arising from the March speeding incident to a close, according to the court information provided.
