Frightening: Motorbike Crash GoPro Video Goes Viral [Warning: Distressing Footage]

It's lovely to feel the wind in your hair, and just hear the roar of the bikes engine. And it's lovely to roll down your car windows and turn the music louder. But, as lovely as this all is, remember to stay aware of your surroundings and happenings...

This will make you stick to speed limits, or at the very least put your mobile phone down when manoeuvring de Waal Drive…

Last year, after a day spent with friends, 38-year old David Holmes was riding his motorbike home. He had a GoPro attached to his helmet, and was filming as he sped along the road, a good 40pmh over the speed limit.

Suddenly, a Renault Clio, from the oncoming lane, started to turn, and David collided with it. It was an unhappy ending for David, who passed away.

“Make riders and drivers think seriously about road safety.”

David Holmes’ family has released the video in the hopes of making people, motorcyclists and drivers alike, realise the importance of road safety.
