A tourist driver was ticketed for speeding at more than 140kmh two days before a head-on smash, a court has heard. Polish man Milosz Urbanek (36) appeared in the Dunedin District Court yesterday with plaster covering his two broken arms following the incident on February 14. Urbanek arrived in New Zealand on January 28 on a tourist visa, prosecutor Sergeant Chris George said. ''Due to the lack of visibility created by the hill and corner, neither vehicle had the opportunity to avoid each other meeting close to the apex of the corner,'' court documents said. Urbanek was the third tourist driver to come before the Dunedin District Court in the past 10 days.
