Chelsea star’s £160k Audi car arrested by cops after driving without a valid licence

Since joining Brighton in 2021 for £4.5 million, Caicedo has been frequently spotted driving in Britain.

International driving licenses can be used in Britain for up to 12 months. After this period, drivers must apply for a UK provisional license and pass the practical driving test.

Last Friday, on his way to the nearby home he shares with his partner, Paola Salazar, he was pulled over by police.

Caicedo was spotted driving an Audi capable of reaching speeds of 155 mph and accelerating to 60 mph in 3.8 seconds as he departed Chelsea's training facility in Cobham, Surrey, on March 31.

According to the Sun, the 23-year-old Chelsea midfielder was arrested last Friday while driving his Audi RSQ8 near the club's training ground in Cobham, Surrey.

Caicedo, 23, is under investigation for driving without valid insurance in the UK and could face a court summons for driving illegally. Authorities are conducting additional checks to determine the validity of his insurance.

This legal incident raises concerns about the possibility of other foreign footballers driving without the proper documentation.

Law firm JMW said, “If you have been charged with driving without a licence, you could face serious punishment. Potential penalties for this type of offence include a fine, penalty points and a driving ban.

“Driving without a licence is a serious motoring offence in the eyes of the law. This means it can carry significant penalties that may affect your ability to drive in the future.”

Caicedo and his teammates travelled to Poland yesterday for today's UEFA Conference League match against Legia Warsaw.
