Reckless drivers are tearing up the streets of a city centre and beyond in an attempt to go viral on Instagram.<\/p>\n

In one video, racers hold their own version of the Fast and the Furious on residential streets, while another duo soar past law-abiding motorists at terrifying speeds.<\/p>\n

In another, filmed from inside a car, one driver bombs it through Birmingham in broad daylight as part of a series of footage being shared on social media.<\/p>\n

As the wannabe gang of Dom Torettos treat the narrow residential streets of inner-city Birmingham like their own Silverstone, they're coming agonisingly close to parked cars, reports BirminghamLive.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

One page promises "weekly content" and asks viewers to "send in videos for a feature" with thousands of followers and likes.<\/p>\n

Last year, Ben Corfield, 19, and Liberty Charris, 16, were killed when a car ploughed into a crowd at a car meet in Oldbury, believed to have been organised on Snapchat, leaving their families devastated. <\/p>\n

Ben's heartbroken dad Damian Corfield believes more should be done to close down these social media accounts.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Mr Corfield previously told how his family's life had been "destroyed" by Ben's death saying it felt "impossible" to go on.<\/p>\n

"These things are advertised, these car stunts and modifying cars," he said. "Social media, I suppose, is classed as a positive for what they (racers) want to do but for everyone else it's a negative.<\/p>\n

"It's making it look like these things are acceptable in society; that dangerous driving is acceptable, making it look like the police have got no jurisdiction over them. It's reckless."<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Meta, the parent company of Instagram and Facebook has been contacted about these accounts, but has not responded.<\/p>\n

West Midlands Police and Crime Commissioner, Simon Foster, has also called on the social media giant to do more.<\/p>\n

It's as these types of accounts blatantly celebrate illegal behaviour which could potentially encourage others to copy their actions and put lives at risk<\/p>\n
