A motorist drove dangerously at 67mph along a city road before ploughing into a cyclist and then leaving her for dead.
If Muhammed Hamza Javid had been within the 30mph speed limit, he could have avoided colliding with Victoria Gayle, Leicester Crown Court was told.
Miss Gayle, a graduate from Canada who was visiting Leicester, died of her injuries.
Javid was sentenced last week to 40 months of detention and banned from the road for 54 months.
Javid (20) pleaded guilty at an earlier hearing to causing the death of Miss Gayle, 25, by driving a Toyota Yaris dangerously in Upperton Road, Leicester. He also admitted failing to stop after the crash, at the toucan crossing for the Great Central Way, at 12.20am on Monday, June 6.
Miss Gayle was cycling with friend Stephen King when the tragedy happened.
