Shocking footage has emerged of a biker gang terrorising other motorists by running red lights and riding the wrong way around a roundabout.
The video also shows a gang of riders pulling wheelies in the road and riding on the pavement in Shirley, West Midlands.
The footage was sent to the Birmingham Mail after it ran a string of stories about the problems of dangerous driving by bikers on the region's roads.
Police carried out a series of raids last week following footage showing bikers pulling wheelies and other stunts following the funeral of motorcyclist Chris ‘Stig’ Clarke.

Mr Clarke - known as Stig, aged 32, - died when his motorbike crashed with a car on the A452 Collector Road in Castle Bromwich, West Midlands, in March.
Officers carried out a series of raids last week, seizing a number of scrambler and quad bikes and making seven arrests.
Inspector Dave Keen from Birmingham East Police, said: “The disregard for the safety of other road users is unacceptable and will not be tolerated in Birmingham.
"Anyone caught driving dangerously will face prosecution, a fine and are likely to have their vehicle seized.”

The crackdown was led by Chief Inspector Jack Hadley who in a testy exchange with a twitter user who questioned devoting police resources to the crackdown showed why officers have taken the action.
He said: “I have to pay tax and insurance...why shouldn’t they?
“They are harming people’s cars they damage. They are harming people they scare. They are harming people who they hit. They are harming people trying to live peacefully.
“They are harming people walking down alleyways and pavements. They are harming people who are trying to play with their kids in the park.
“They are harming the people trying to sleep at night.”
