Mercedes driver who filmed himself doing 100mph in 30mph zone killed dad-of-four days later in quadbike smash

A Mercedes driver killed a dad-of-four by knocking him off his quad bike as he tried to overtake him. Mohammed Billal Khan had attempted the manoeuvre on a blind hill and as an oncoming car appeared, he swerved back to the left to avoid a crash, but instead collided with the front wheel of his friend, Tariq Khan's bike.

Tariq who ran the Pound 4 Pound boxing gym in Bolton, was thrown from the quad bike and into a lamp post, suffering 'catastrophic' head injuries. The 36-year-old died at the scene.

Just three days earlier, Billal Khan had filmed himself driving the car at 100mph on a 30mph road and uploaded the video to TikTok, Bolton Crown Court heard. He has now been jailed for five-and-a-half years after admitting to both incidents.

A car being driven by a man named Hekmat Ahmed appeared from the other side of the brow and Mr Ahmed believed that Billal Khan was going to crash head-on into him. Mr Ahmed described Billal Khan's driving as "so dangerous that it seemed suicidal".

To avoid a crash with Mr Ahmed's car, Billal Khan swerved to the left but clipped the front
