Katie Price has received a seventh driving ban following her failure to respond to correspondence from police regarding a speeding offence. The former glamour model, now 47, has accumulated more than six years of driving disqualifications since her initial ban in 2010.
The latest incident involved a Ford Capri, registered in Price’s name, spotted travelling at 80mph in a 70mph zone on the A64 near Stutton, North Yorkshire, on 15 October 2025. Police contacted Price at her West Sussex residence to verify who was driving the vehicle, but she did not reply. As a result, she was convicted of failing to respond, resulting in a six-month prohibition on driving and a legal bill exceeding £1,000.
Price’s case was handled through the Single Justice Procedure, a system where minor criminal matters are resolved privately by magistrates without a public hearing. Initially charged with speeding and withholding driver identity information, the speeding charge was later dropped by the police. At Harrogate Magistrates’ Court on 31 March, Magistrate Claire Sagar found Price guilty of failing to provide the requested information, imposing a £660 fine alongside £120 in costs and a £264 victim surcharge.
Details about whether Price was given the opportunity to challenge another ban remain unclear due to the confidential nature of the court proceedings. It is also unknown if the court had access to the full details of her prior driving offences or if she had any points currently on her licence.
Price’s driving history includes multiple previous sanctions. In December 2010, she received a six-month ban after admitting a speeding offence. Subsequently, in 2012, she was disqualified for a year for ignoring speeding tickets, and in 2018, she faced another six-month ban for speeding again.
Her convictions continued with a three-month ban in early 2019 for driving while disqualified, followed by a conviction for being drunk in charge of a vehicle after she was seen veering off the road and hitting a grass verge. Later that year, she was banned from driving for 18 months after refusing to identify the driver involved in a car accident. In 2021, a judge described her driving record as “one of the worst driving records I have ever seen” when sentencing her to a 16-week suspended prison term for drink-driving while disqualified and uninsured. This judgment included a two-year driving ban, 100 hours of community service, and up to 30 rehabilitation sessions. In 2024, Price was fined £880 for driving without a licence and insurance but avoided an additional ban for these offences
