Kyle Khan and Meesha Afzal died upon impact after the motor smashed into a wall
A married couple were killed after a speeding driver ignored signs that he was driving down a dead-end road.
View gallery Prosecutor, Paul Spratt, at Birmingham Crown Court, said of the victims: "They were two people in the prime of their young lives. They had hopes and aspirations which, sadly, will be unfulfilled."About 20 minutes before a cop had seen Liaquat driving the Mercedes at speeds in excess of a 30mph speed limit.
"The road goes from a dual carriageway to a single track road. There is a solid concrete wall at the end." Mr Spratt said a witness had estimated that before the collision Liaquat had been travelling at between 30 and 40mph."There is no sign of breaking as he approached the part of the road he should not have been on."
He continued: "You were driving down a road which was a dead-end. There were signs which clearly said so.
