Six‑month driving ban hits Salah as Rolls‑Royce case resurfaces

Mohamed Salah, now playing for Trabzonspor, has been handed a six‑month driving ban after a traffic offence in England while he was still a Liverpool player. The incident involved his Rolls‑Royce Spectre, valued at more than €466,000, and the court ordered a fine of €769.

Offence details and location dispute

The speed‑camera offence occurred in March 2026. One report says a mobile radar caught the car travelling in Liverpool, while another places the detection in Wilmslow, Cheshire. In both accounts the vehicle was recorded exceeding the speed limit, though the exact speed is not specified.

Court ruling and financial penalties

Because Salah did not disclose who was driving, the case proceeded to Warrington Combined Court, where he was convicted in absentia. The court imposed a six‑month driving disqualification and a fine of €769. A separate source adds procedural costs of €140 and compensation of €305, and another report cites the fine as £1,044.

Timing, club context and media coverage

The ban was announced just two days after Salah unexpectedly announced his departure from Liverpool. He now wears the Trabzonspor shirt, as shown in the accompanying Foto: Divulgação/Trabzonspor / Jogada10 image. The story was first reported by The Sun, which provided the core details of the case.

In 2022, Salah faced a similar situation when he was caught driving a Ferrari at about 101 km/h in an 80 km/h zone, receiving a fine and three penalty points. The new ban adds to a pattern of motoring issues during his time in England, though it is unlikely to affect his playing duties abroad.

While the licence suspension limits his ability to drive in England (Inglaterra), it does not impede his contractual obligations with Trabzonspor. Salah’s legal team has not commented further, and the player continues to feature for his Turkish club.
