Oh, I see the confusion. He was comparing Birmingham, UK, to Alabama for a point of reference for Americans (e.g. Birmingham is to the UK as Alabama is to the US). But what made it confusing is half the audience is thinking the town of Birmingham, Alabama.

Sure, but this isnt in Alabama judging by the cars driving on the left side of the road and the tesco express...this isnt in the states

I interpreted that as Birmingham UK is filled with drunken redneck idiots

Are you from Birmingham?

No, Ive never lived in Alabama, but I've driven through and can safely say you would never see this on the streets of Birmingham, AL.
There are enough places people could go and ride in the country, also cops would just shoot them claiming they were putting people at risk...

I spent a good chunk of my childhood in Birmingham, Alabama, and I can guarantee you there are no Tesco expresses or left-handed driving.
Okay, well, there is a little bit of left-handed driving, but it's generally frowned upon.

I just can't give a shit. These kids have had their futures stolen from them, and they entertain themselves like this, I say good for them.

Well sure, but isn't that the culture these days? Let the boys be rebels, rules are for losers after all...

No. They almost killed a pedestrian. Let them go kill themselves if they want to rebel like that alone on a private dirt track.

Lol cars almost kill pedestrians every single day.

And it's crazy we just accept that! It is not normal to simply accept that people die on the streets every day!

I agree with you. These boys on quads will not kill anyone as fast as them doing the same shit in a car.
