This is helm camera footage of a motorcyclist filming his own death by frontal collision with a car at high speed. British police uses it with permission by his mother for a traffic education campaign. The link above already destroys that constructive intention by interrupting the footage short before impact. But I think this hypersensiblity is not helping the cause, so I provide the link below which shows the full sequence. There is no gore and blood and such to be seen, don'T worry. It even looks somewhat harmless. Which maybe makes it even more disturbing that the sequence nevertheless illustrates the death of a human being.

Especially after winter, when the first springdays show up, I occasionally see young men driving like maniacs on their motorbikes. Videos like this should be mandatory viewing in driving schools, and even at ordinary schools, in the last one or two schoolyears.

Respect for the mother allowing this film being used for the police's campaign. Hope it saves some people'S lives. Always remember that you do not only need to avoid mistakes by yourself - you also need to allow room for mistakes made by others. At speeds like this, you delete that room for the other's mistake. With the illustrated result.
