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.How's your driving? If you can prove you're a good driver, you can cut the cost of your motor insurance – as well as helping to make the roads safer.
Aviva has launched a campaign encouraging motorists to test their road skills with an app which rates how safely they drive, based on acceleration, braking and cornering over 200 miles.
Users of the Aviva Drive app will be given an individual score out of 10, and if you score 7.1 and above you could save an average £150 on your car insurance.
As well as the app, people will be encouraged to think about their own personal driving behaviours with a series of interactive tools which will be available online during the campaign.
To generate debate about road safety, people will also be asked to rate who they believe are the safest drivers among specific groups, such as men and women, or people aged under and over 60. Votes will be cast via social media and at a special voting point at Waterloo station.
Lindsay Forster of Aviva said: "By encouraging people to stop and think about their driving habits, it's our ambition to make the roads safer for everyone."
