Mohamed Salah Handed Six-Month Driving Ban in England

The Egyptian star has been sanctioned over an incident that took place just days after he announced his Liverpool exit.

Mohamed Salah Handed Six-Month Driving Ban

Mohamed Salah may be enjoying an impressive run of form with Trabzonspor, but an unresolved matter from his time in England has put the Egyptian forward back in the headlines. A court has handed him a six-month driving ban over an incident that occurred on March 27.

The case involves a Rolls-Royce belonging to the forward that was caught by a speed camera traveling at 36 mph (58 km/h) in Wilmslow, Cheshire, where the speed limit was 30 mph (48 km/h).

However, Salah’s punishment was not directly for speeding. According to the BBC, the Egyptian was convicted of failing to provide police with information identifying who was driving the vehicle when the offense took place.

Why Was Mohamed Salah Sanctioned?

According to court documents, Mohamed Salah did not respond to a notice from Cheshire Police requesting information about the identity of the person driving the Rolls-Royce. He also did not enter a plea.

The case eventually reached a court in Warrington, where Salah was handed a six-month driving ban.

The former Liverpool star was also ordered to pay £1,044. A court spokesperson confirmed that Salah was convicted specifically for failing to provide information relating to the identification of the driver.

Incident Came Days After Mohamed Salah Announced Liverpool Exit

The timing adds another notable detail to the story. The speeding incident occurred just three days after Mohamed Salah announced he would leave Liverpool, beginning the countdown to the end of a historic spell at Anfield.

Salah eventually departed England in the summer after nine years with Liverpool, beginning a new chapter in Turkey with Trabzonspor.

His Premier League career may now be behind him, but the legal proceedings stemming from the incident continued after his departure and have now resulted in the six-month ban.

Mohamed Salah Keeps Scoring in Turkey

Away from the court case, Mohamed Salah is making headlines for very different reasons in Turkey. After taking some time to settle into his new surroundings, the 34-year-old is once again showing the finishing ability that defined his years in England.

The Egyptian recently produced a stunning hat-trick against Galatasaray, helping Trabzonspor secure a statement 4-0 victory over the reigning Süper Lig champions.

Salah now has seven goals in six league appearances, with Trabzonspor sitting just three points off the top of the table. His legendary Liverpool chapter may be over, but the Egyptian star is wasting little time making his mark in Turkey.
