He will be sentenced at Caernarfon Crown Court on Wednesday, November 27.
Brenninkmeyer, who appeared at today’s hearing via videolink, remains on bail, but was disqualified from driving by Judge Timothy Petts.
Judge Petts, who reserved his sentencing hearing to himself, told Brenninkmeyer: “You know it has to be a prison sentence, and you should prepare yourself for that eventuality.”
“Yes, your honour,” Brenninkmeyer replied.
Brenninkmeyer was driving a BMW vehicle on an unclassified road leading from Pentre Uchaf, at the crossroads junction with the B4354, when the fatal crash took place.
A pre-sentence report will be compiled on his behalf.
