Mohamed Salah receives six-month driving ban

Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah has been handed a six-month driving ban by a UK court following an incident involving speeding in Wilmslow, Cheshire. The violation occurred in March 2026, two days after he announced his departure from Liverpool. According to reports from Goal News Cy, the player failed to respond to two summonses sent to his villa, leading to a conviction in absentia by a Warrington court under the Single Justice Procedure for failing to identify the driver.

Beyond the driving ban, Salah was ordered to pay a fine of 660 pounds, along with 120 pounds in court costs and a 264-pound victim surcharge. While Reporter suggests the ban resulted from the accumulation of maximum penalty points, the Goal News Cy report specifies the legal action was triggered by the failure to address the speeding charge and the subsequent administrative legal processes. This is not the player's first traffic-related legal issue, as he previously received a fine and penalty points for speeding in Stockport in 2022.

The current status confirms the ban is effective immediately. No further legal challenges or upcoming court appearances regarding this specific case have been announced following the court's sentencing.
