Letter: Don't pander to speed freaks
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.OPPONENTS of a higher speed limit should remember that the 70mph limit was not introduced for the purposes of road safety but in response to the Opec oil crises.Of far greater danger on motorways is the inability of motorists to slow down at a hazard due to the proverbial articulated lorry15ft behind one's back bumper. Where are the police then?
