She says her insurance premiums have gone through the roof after she was caught drink-driving
Katie Price is facing another driving ban after the police seized her Range Rover near her home in Sussex.
The glamour model had her SUV taken by the cops over suspicions she could have been driving without insurance or a valid driving licence.
Price only recently regained the right to get behind the wheel of a car after she was handed a two-year driving ban following her guilty plea for drink-driving in 2021.
She was driving with son Harvey, 21, after leaving a hair salon, when she was ordered to stop by an unmarked police car on Friday at around 6pm.
Photos obtained by The Sun show a trio of officers confronting the former glamour model on Sompting Road, in Worthing, Sussex.
A Sussex Police spokesperson said: “Officers responded to a report of a motorist driving otherwise than in accordance with a licence and driving without insurance at Sompting Road roundabout, Worthing, shortly before 6pm on Friday, July 21.
“A 45-year-old woman was spoken to, and a Range Rover was seized under Section 165(a) of the Road Traffic Act.
“Sussex Police is not able to comment further at this time.”
It has only been a matter of weeks since Katie has been back behind the wheel after she was given a suspended 16-week jail term in December 2021 after driving under the influence of alcohol.
At the time, Judge Amanda Kelly said Price had “one of the worst driving records I have seen”.
But her lawyer negotiated that “mental health” at the time of her sentencing, argued PTSD and a suicide attempt was the reason behind her actions.
Price recently complained that her fees for car insurance have skyrocketed due to her drink-drive past.
She explained last week: “No insurance company will insure me on a new car or anything flash, nothing.”
She continued: “The quotes I had for my insurance on a normal car that is £15k was £73k, one was £53k and one was £33k, and they were my quotes because no one else would insure me because of who I am.”
She argued: “It’s discrimination because if someone else had the same as me and they had a normal job, they wouldn’t charge that much, it’s way more than the car.”
