Photo: SuppliedA speeding motorcyclist might narrowly have avoided death if he'd been doing the speed limit on a ride to Akaroa, a coroner has concluded. The experienced rider had set out with a friend, Tracy Durham from Christchurch that morning for a ride to Akaroa. "If he had been travelling within the speed limit, he would have been able to avoid this danger." Given the road code's advice around speed limits, the coroner did not find it necessary to make any recommendations.
