A graphic video showing the moment a motorcyclist was killed has had

nearly 1.5 million hits online in less than 24 hours.

The footage was released by the mother of David Holmes from Norfolk.

He was filming himself with a helmet camera when a car pulled

Every day 30 motorcyclists are killed or seriously injured

A warning that this report from Mike Liggins includes the moments

He was riding home to Norwich on the A47 when he was

We are not showing the moment of impact but

the full video released by Norfolk Police does and it is shocking.

Since it was released yesterday it has been viewed

The difference is that it's not a staged, mocked up advert

It is real life and a real life lost.

The video has been watched and talked about around the world.

This is the CAM Rider training centre

at Rougham near Bury St Edmunds where instructors and trainees

There is a huge amount of sadness for the rider, the family

and the person in the car as well having to go through this event.

The general feeling is it was something that could

One of the hopes now is bikers will see

the need to do more training, some are but CAM Rider says not enough.

Rusty riders are coming through more and more

They are having the presence of mind or family members are going,

look if you're going to get another bike please do something

Today, Chief Inspector Chris Spinks, head of Roads Policing in Norfolk

and Suffolk paid Brenda Holmes a visit at home.

They had a look at some of David's old bikes.

It is estimated he was travelling at 97 miles an hour when he died.

On social media, that has been commented on by many.

The lessons are just there for us both to learn,

And as Brenda pointed out she doesn't want a blame culture

The motorcyclist community or the car drivers turning around

There are lessons here we have both got to learn

I was asked if I was shocked at David's speed and I said no,

I was surprised and disappointed and I wish he hadn't been there that day

Brenda Holmes can't change the past but she is hoping to

influence the future, to make bikers and drivers think hard.

To think about avoiding the sort of mistakes which costs lives.

Earlier I asked him if the scale of the response to

We knew this would be something that was controversial,

We couldn't ever have hoped this amount of people would have

It is barely over 24 hours and we're up to 1.5 million viewers

Lots of people have watched this video but do you think it really

will change their behaviour on the roads?

We have had a lot of feedback through social media and direct both

A lot of that feedback is saying, I will think about it.

We have had people who have said they are going to make sure

their children watch it before they go out, they are taking

the keys until they have seen it. That is a positive.

We're never going to know what we have prevented because there will

be people who that are coming home tonight and in the future who

would not have come home if they hadn't moderated their behaviour.

It has been a brave move by the family to release this footage.

Do you think it will have the desired effect?

We really hope so and the Holmes family really hope so.

All that Brenda Holmes, David 's mum said when we first spoke

about this was, if it prevents one person being killed on the road and

one family going through what she has gone through she will be happy.

1.5 million people have viewed it in the first day so I am confident at

least one of those people will take the message on board and hopefully

But I'll leave you with the weather, here's Dan Holley.

Good evening. After a cloudy day today that is a glimmer of hope for

some sunshine later this weekend. For tonight, we're keeping a lot of

cloud cover. One or two clear intervals but if you missed patches

forming later and with a light breeze to be mild, temperatures

lowest at 12`15 Celsius. The weekend starting on a rather cloudy notes

with mist and fog lifting into low cloud. Through the day we will have

brighter spells developing but a few showers running across northern part

of the region. You will be unlucky if you catch one. In the best of the

sunshine temperatures getting up to 21 possibly 22 degrees Celsius. I

think there will be a bit more sunshine developing into tomorrow

evening but an increasing risk of isolated showers coming into

forecast is up next. Lots of sunshine expected on Sunday and

Monday and feeling one with light winds but

Hello. I am sure you cannot wait to find out what the weekend wet ler be

notice this cloud, this is a weather forecast we have said for the past

couple of days. Here
