Shocking dashcam footage shows the moment a drunk motorcyclist crashes head-on into a car.

The footage shows the motorcyclist swerve into the path of the car, while being nearly twice the drink drive limit on Broadwater Crescent, Stevenage.

The rider was critically injured and had to be airlifted to a London hospital.

PC David Burstow of Bedfordshird Road Policing Unit said: “We are releasing this footage in the hope it brings some reality, particularly to motorcyclists, of the serious consequences of being over the limit.

“The rider put himself, the occupants of the car and other road users at risk and this is not acceptable."

The motorcyclist was disqualified from driving for 18 months at court in July.

PC Burstow said: "The message from us is clear – do not drink and drive.”
