Jordan Pickford has pleaded guilty to careless driving after a court heard that his Lamborghini Urus was involved in an incident that nearly caused a crash in Knutsford, Cheshire.

The England and Everton goalkeeper entered the plea in writing and has asked to appear before magistrates in Chester on December 7 to put forward his mitigation.

What Happened During Jordan Pickford’s Knutsford Driving Incident

The incident happened on 14 April, when PC Ricardo said he was waiting at traffic signals on Bexton Road and saw Pickford's blue Lamborghini Urus, which had personalised number plates, travelling along Princess Street.

According to his statement, the car reached the junction with Toft Road and "completely ignored the give-way lines", forcing two vehicles to brake hard to avoid a collision. The officer then activated his lights and siren.

He said his speedometer reached 50mph on Toft Road while the Lamborghini was "still pulling away". The speed limit was 30mph. The 50mph reading was from the police car, and no speeding charge against Pickford has been reported.

Pc Ricardo said Pickford appeared to notice the police car and pulled over. He said he identified the driver, cautioned him, and issued a traffic offence report. No collision was reported.

The Lamborghini Urus has been valued at £200,000 by several outlets, while The Sun reported a lower figure of £165,000. Everton and the Football Association have not commented.

Why Jordan Pickford Will Still Appear in Court After His Guilty Plea

Pickford pleaded guilty in writing through the Single Justice Procedure, which allows magistrates to deal with certain minor offences without the defendant attending court. He requested an appearance to put forward his mitigation.

In his plea he told Warrington Magistrates' Court: "I would like to attend court to put forward my mitigation."

The case was then adjourned to Chester Magistrates' Court, where it is listed for December 7.

What Punishment Could Jordan Pickford Face for Careless Driving?

Careless driving carries three to nine penalty points or a discretionary driving ban. A fine can also be imposed, with the amount determined by the court. The outcome will depend on how the court assesses how far the driving fell below the expected standard and what harm resulted.

Whether Pickford already has points on his licence has not been reported. Pickford is 32 and signed a new Everton contract in October 2025 that runs until June 2029. He played every group game for England at the 2026 World Cup.

There has been no reported indication that the case will affect Pickford's availability for Everton or England.
