Liverpool goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili fined for watching phone while driving
He was fined £440, given six penalty points and ordered to pay costs after police said he watched a video while driving.
- Liverpool goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili was caught watching a video on his phone while driving on the M6 on January 27, stopped by Cheshire Police on the southbound carriageway between Junctions 23 and 21 near St Helens.
- Cheshire Constabulary Constable Ree noticed Mamardashvili's black Audi failing to move into an empty left lane, then observed the driver holding his phone near the steering wheel as he overtook the vehicle.
- PC Ree documented that the driver "appeared to be watching something on the screen whilst he was driving at motorway speed"; the entire stop was recorded on body-worn camera, and Mamardashvili identified himself using a Georgian driving licence.
- At Warrington Combined Court on Friday, Mamardashvili was convicted and handed a £440 fine, six penalty points, £120 in prosecution costs, and a £176 victim surcharge after failing to respond to the prosecution notice.
- The conviction aligns with a broader national crackdown on distracted driving, with 247 motorists across England and Wales prosecuted last week for handheld device use generating over £41,000 in collective fines; Mamardashvili has made 20 appearances for Liverpool this season deputizing for first-choice goalkeeper Alisson.
