Serial drink driver Mitchell Walsh will never legally get behind the wheel again after driving officials cancelled his licence following two more serious offences.
The 33-year-old Perth man was fined $1500 on Friday for being clocked at 40kms/h over the speed limit on December 12, also having his licence disqualified for six months, Perth Now reports.
Less than a week earlier, the plasterer was stung nearly $800 for drug driving after testing positive for methamphetamine and cannabis.

In late December Walsh was fined $500 and had his licence suspended for three months after he admitted to drug driving in Hocking, north of Perth, on November 1.
His record includes seven drink-driving convictions, eight convictions for driving while disqualified and 12 licence suspensions.
He blew 0.165 when he hit and killed a 10-year-old cyclist in 2003, but was cleared when a jury found the collision was unavoidable.
Walsh, who was 19 at the time, was three times over the legal blood limit when he struck school girl Jess Meehan while she was riding her bike.

Appearing via video link from Hakea Prison Friday, the repeat offender said he wasn’t paying attention at the time of his most recent offence.
‘I just came off the freeway, I wasn’t paying attention to the speed limit,’ he told the court.
Magistrate Deen Potter slammed his driving for being ‘inherently dangerous’
He was stripped of his licence after the Department of Transport invoked Regulation 41 of the Road Traffic (Authorisation to Drive) Regulations 2014, which allows the chief executive or a delegate to cancel any licence to protect the public.
Transport Minister Rita Saffioti said she was ‘surprised and deeply disturbed’ after Mr Walsh was allowed back on the roads last year.
