This overtaken car was being driven by his girlfriend and had his brother as a passenger.
After passing his girlfriend and brother, Mr Anisomovs lost control of the motorcycle he was riding and collided with an oncoming car, the coroner’s court was told.
Evidence was given he had been travelling in excess of the 30mph speed limit ahead of the collision, with one witness describing Mr Anisomovs’ riding style as ‘suicidal’.
“He had no room for error,” they said.
