Which is the more dangerous driver?

When I got to the dual carriageway, I was just behind Cars B, C.

Overtaking outside of motorways seems to save minimal time.

Car A breaks the red in Saintfield. Turns the corner and is just behind Car E.

Car A had caused a tailback while driving at 40 mph, and the speed limit is 60.

Car E overtook A (plus B, C, D) coming into the town, just making it in front of Car A, with metres to spare in front of an oncoming car.

A pre-dawn glow rises behind Hen Mountain, outlining its rugged tors as fog clings just below the summit. While in the foreground, small heather plants with their vibrant purple blooms thrive against the odds in the weathered rock crevices.

In the photo is a large rock surrounded by grass and 2 heather plants with purple blooms. In the midground there is fog while in the background there is Hen Mountain with its jagged tors and behind the mountain is a pre dawn yellow glow from the sun rising.

Jim Allister is a (v good ) Barrister & has said multiple times that he would have no qualms taking the case of an IRA person if he was approached because the cab rank rule is fundamentally part of the legal system here.
JIM ALLISTER.
So quit with this angle about Catherine Connolly, it’s a smear
