Mohamed Salah Convicted for Failing to Identify Driver

Mohamed Salah has been convicted in his absence by Warrington Magistrates’ Court after failing to identify the driver of a luxury electric Rolls-Royce “Spectre” caught speeding in March 2026.

The Trabzonspor forward, 34, did not tell police who was behind the wheel of the car, worth more than €466,000, when a mobile speed camera picked it up, according to The Sun. That refusal to name the driver led to a charge of failing to identify the person responsible for the offence.

Magistrates delivered their verdict in August 2026. Salah’s driving licence was suspended for six months and he was fined €769.

The court heard that two separate summonses had been sent to Salah’s mansion, valued at more than €5 million, but he did not attend. With no sign of the player, the magistrates proceeded without him and ruled on the evidence already on file.

It is not the first time the Egyptian forward has faced trouble over his driving. In 2022, police caught him speeding in a Ferrari F8 Tributo, an incident that brought a fine and three penalty points on his licence.

Four years earlier, in 2018, he was also recorded using a mobile phone while driving near Anfield, another brush with the law that now sits alongside his latest conviction.
