It shows the smashed up shells of two cars which collided on the A1068 near Hipsburn when one was being driven on the wrong side of the road crashing into the oncoming car at 72mph.
Donald Stone, 25, of Cedar Grove, Alnwick, was disqualified from driving for a year and given a 12-week prison sentence, suspended for 18 months, by Alnwick magistrates after admitting a charge of dangerous driving.
Fortunately no-one was killed in the crash but all those involved were taken to hospital with injuries.
Now police are warning young drivers about the dangers of speeding.
PC Kevin Taylor, collision investigation officer, said: "Young drivers have this idea that they are invincible, but clearly from these photographs they are not and are prepared to take risks and be careless.
"They need to recognise road conditions, drive at appropriate speeds and form an effective driving plan, this man didn't at the time.
"It is happening all too often now. We get young drivers not long after passing their test, or driving unlicensed, taking unnecessary risks."
And he added that legislation changed in August, with those convicted of causing death by careless driving facing up to five years in prison.
He said the cost to the community is also a concern, with those seriously injured in a road accident needing constant support.
PC Taylor also encourages young drivers to consider further tests with the Institute of Advanced Motorists to help them become better drivers.
He tested youngsters as part of a course run with the IAM and Maxpower magazine to help young drivers recognise the importance of safe driving.
He said: "We do try to encourage young drivers to become more responsible.
"With extra tuition and direction young drivers can be safe drivers.
"It increases their awareness and has benefits such as reduced insurance."
