Katie Price has been slapped with her seventh driving ban after failing to respond to police letters regarding an 80mph speeding offence. The former glamour model, 47, has accumulated bans totalling more than six years since she was first disqualified back in 2010. Her latest brush with the law follows a Ford Capri registered in her name being caught travelling at 80mph on the A64 near the North Yorkshire village of Stutton. North Yorkshire Police wrote to Price at her West Sussex home, requesting she confirm whether she was behind the wheel of the speeding vehicle. She has since been prosecuted and convicted of failing to respond to police, resulting in a six-month driving ban and a legal bill exceeding £1,000.

Price's most recent conviction and disqualification was dealt with last week through the Single Justice Procedure, a little-known court process in which magistrates handle criminal cases behind closed doors.

Court documents reveal that Price was charged with speeding and failing to provide information for identifying the driver of a vehicle. The Ford Capri was captured on a speed camera along a 70mph stretch of the A64 at 3.03pm on 15th October last year. A police letter regarding the incident was dispatched to her on October 20, followed by a November 10 reminder cautioning her of impending criminal proceedings.

However, the police force confirmed that no response was received to either correspondence, reports the Manchester Evening News.

Magistrate Claire Sagar, presiding at Harrogate Magistrates' Court last Tuesday (April 7), found Price guilty of failing to respond to the police charge, ordering her to pay a £660 fine, £120 in costs, and a £264 victim surcharge.

Owing to the confidential nature of the court proceedings, it remains unknown whether Price was afforded the opportunity to contest another driving ban; it is unclear whether the court was aware of her previous driving record, and the records do not indicate whether she already held penalty points on her licence. The speeding charge was subsequently withdrawn by the police.

In December 2010, Price was banned for six months after admitting a speeding charge, she was disqualified for a year in 2012 after failing to respond to speeding tickets, and she received another six-month ban in February 2018 after being caught speeding.

In January 2019, she appeared in court once more to admit driving while disqualified, resulting in a three-month ban. Just a month later she was convicted by a judge of being drunk in charge of a vehicle after it was observed by police veering off the road and striking a grass verge.

Price maintained that an unidentified man had been behind the wheel and fled the scene prior to officers arriving, however a judge concluded her account was "not plausible". In 2019, Price was convicted of failing to provide the name of the driver involved in a car crash, resulting in an 18-month driving ban.

Then in 2021, a judge condemned Price for "one of the worst driving records I have ever seen", handing her a 16-week suspended prison sentence for drink-driving while disqualified and uninsured. That incident resulted in a two-year driving ban, along with 100 hours of community service and up to 30 rehabilitation sessions.

Most recently, in 2024, Price was fined £880 for driving without a valid licence or insurance in Northamptonshire, though she escaped a further ban on that occasion.
