Police have shared graphic images of the damage a man did to himself - and his helmet - after crashing into a car while not wearing proper safety gear.
The pictures have been shared by Derbyshire Road Policing Unit after a crash on the A38.
The motorbike crashed into the back of a car which had slowed down as traffic ahead came to a halt.
Police say that other than the helmet, the rider was wearing no safety gear at all.

The images show the rider's legs badly grazed - while the images show him wearing shorts and trainers instead of protective trousers and boots.
The rider's hand is also injured - while his coat has been left torn by the crash.
The helmet itself is badly damaged showing marks of having been scraped along the ground with some force.
