The moment a young cyclist hurtled round a bend on the wrong side of the road and crashed into a car was caught on dashcam video.
Driver Daniel Cartwright - a community protection officer - captured the incident in Bramcote on Thursday morning, March 21.
The young cyclist managed to pick himself up apparently none the worse for wear after he crashed into the bonnet when he came out of a blind junction.
But Daniel says he has now been left to pick up the bill for the damage caused to his Vauxhall Astra.
The 24-year-old from Nottingham, who posted the video on Facebook later that day, said: “My immediate reaction was to check on the rider as he was a young child. He said, 'Sorry, no one ever uses this road,' after I said to him did he fancy looking where [he] was going?”
“Luckily as far as I’m aware the youth wasn’t injured seriously although......this could have been a completely different story if my speed was any higher."
He said the video showed a "huge lack of education within young people using bicycles on roads".

The video shows Daniel driving through Bramcote along Chilwell Lane and taking a right turn up Peache Way.
Daniel slowly approaches the junction with The Home Croft, a small country road, with another vehicle approaching him further up the road.
Suddenly a cyclist comes flying out of the junction from the left hand side and smashes into Daniel’s car.
The youngster is sprawled across Daniel’s windscreen and bumper as the cyclist hit his car at some speed. Miraculously the young cyclist gets off the bumper and is standing on two feet clearly confused as to what had just happened.
Daniel said there would be a sizeable fee to repair the damaged caused to his car.
He said: “My reaction immediate reaction was to check on the rider as he was a young child.
“Although the youth is okay, I am now still left to pick up the pieces with the financial cost of repairing my car.
"[I have a] dented bonnet and bumper, I’m looking at £300-£500 to repair the damage.
“So far the parents seem to be unwilling to cover any costs. So for now I’ll have to foot the bill until I [am] able pursue the matter in small claims court.
“I guess my main reason for posting this video is so parents that I have on Facebook can show their children the types of accidents that can happen when not taking proper care on UK roads.”
Police confirmed that the teenage boy did not suffer any serious injuries.
A spokesman for Nottinghamshire Police said: "The incident was reported to us as a collision between a 15-year-old boy on a pushbike and a vehicle in Peache Way, Bramcote, at around 10am on 21 March.
