A man with almost 50 prior speeding convictions exceeded 150km/h (93 miles per hour) on a suburban Brisbane street before colliding with another vehicle, a court has heard.

CCTV footage was shown in Brisbane District Court of Gregory Michael Scanlan’s vehicle moments before the crash at Bulimba in November 2018 which hospitalised the other car’s two occupants.
