Police have described a 28-year-old man as a “fast driver but slow learner” after he had a car seized for the sixth time.

The man, from the Mid-West town of Three Springs, was caught behind the wheel on Sunday evening despite having a cancelled licence, police allege.

Officers from Mingenew police station stopped the vehicle about 20km from the town about 5.20pm after allegedly recording the driver doing 150km/h in a 110km/h zone with two teenage passengers in the car.

Police said that as they were questioning the driver, an ambulance stopped and the paramedics claimed that the same motorist had overtaken them at high speed and almost crashed head-on into an oncoming vehicle.

The 28-year-old man is expected to face a court in Three Springs this month charged with speeding, dangerous driving and driving with a cancelled licence.

His sedan has been seized for 28 days and if he is convicted, police will apply to have it permanently confiscated.
