- Mohamed Salah received a six-month driving ban after his Rolls-Royce was clocked speeding at 36mph (58 km/h) in a 30mph (48 km/h) zone in Wilmslow, Cheshire, on 27 March.
- Salah failed to respond to Cheshire Police's prosecution notice and did not enter a plea, resulting in a conviction for failing to give information relating to the identification of the driver.
- The 34-year-old Egypt captain was ordered to pay £1,044 at Warrington Combined Court, prosecuted under the Single Justice Procedure in which magistrates sit in private hearings.
- The speeding offence came just days after Salah announced his departure from Liverpool on 24 March, ending a nine-year spell with the club.
- Liverpool said Salah 'firmly established himself as one of the greatest players in Liverpool's history,' having scored 257 goals in 442 appearances before transferring to Turkish side Trabzonspor following the 2025-26 season.
Why it matters: The conviction — handed down days after Salah's high-profile exit from Liverpool — shows that single-justice speeding prosecutions proceed automatically regardless of the offender's profile, with an automatic six-month disqualification plus £1,044 in costs for anyone who ignores the notice to name the driver.
