Article Summary

A UK magistrates' court in Warrington, Cheshire, has banned Mohamed Salah from driving for 6 months and fined him £660. The ruling followed a speed camera capturing a Rolls-Royce registered in his name travelling at 36 mph in a 30 mph zone on 27 March. Salah was not proven to be driving but was convicted for failing to identify the driver. His fleet includes a Bentley Continental GT, Lamborghini Aventador, Mercedes AMG GLE Coupe and Mercedes SLS AMG Roadster, worth over 15 million Egyptian pounds combined.

A court ruling few saw coming. The Magistrates' Court in Warrington, Cheshire, issued a decision banning Mohamed Salah, the Trabzonspor player, from driving for 6 months and fined him £660 — roughly 45,500 Egyptian pounds. The ruling stems from a speed camera catching a Rolls-Royce registered under Salah's name travelling at 36 mph in a 30 mph zone in Wilmslow on 27 March. The verdict was delivered on Monday.

What's striking here isn't the speed. It's the legal twist. The court didn't prove Salah was driving at the time. He was convicted for failing to provide information identifying the driver. That distinction turns a routine speeding ticket into a serious administrative matter for any luxury car owner in the UK.

Inside the Mercedes, Bentley and Lamborghini Fleet

Salah has built one of the most talked-about car collections since moving to Europe from El Mokawloon. At the top sits the Bentley Continental GT, valued at around £160,000 — nearly 10,282,732 Egyptian pounds. A grand tourer with razor-sharp performance and a design that demands attention.

The priciest machine in the garage, though, is the Lamborghini Aventador at £270,000 — about 17,352,111 Egyptian pounds. A V12 supercar that hits 0-60 mph in under 3 seconds. Those numbers alone explain why these cars grab speed cameras — and headlines — wherever they go.

Why English Roads Don't Forgive Supercars

On Cheshire's highways, cameras catch every mile over the limit. A £660 fine looks modest next to the price tags here. But a 6-month driving ban? That's the real sting. Anyone who spends months away from the driver's seat feels the difference. Owning a car and being allowed to drive it are two very different things.

The lineup also includes a Mercedes AMG GLE Coupe valued at around £80,000 — roughly 5,141,366 Egyptian pounds. An SUV coupe blending performance with daily usability. Then there's the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Roadster at approximately £176,000, or about 11,311,006 Egyptian pounds. Pure sports car DNA with gullwing doors.

What This Ruling Means for Luxury Car Owners

In the UK, a speeding offence isn't just about the fine. If you can't name the driver, you — as the registered owner — carry the legal weight. That strict rule puts every owner of a registered vehicle in direct contact with the law, whether they were driving or not. Can any public figure realistically avoid that trap?

Salah himself was never proven to be behind the wheel. The court convicted him solely for failing to identify the driver. That legal distinction matters. The ruling shines a light on the responsibilities of luxury car owners in England, especially with the Rolls-Royce model at the centre of the case. The ban runs for 6 months from the ruling date.

The Full Fleet by the Numbers

Bentley Continental GT: £160,000. Lamborghini Aventador: £270,000. Mercedes AMG GLE Coupe: £80,000. Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Roadster: £176,000. The collection mixes luxury, performance and variety — from grand tourers to SUV coupes to a full-blown supercar. If Salah returns to England within 6 months, these cars stay parked. The court order covers every vehicle registered in his name on English roads.
