Film for fast drivers
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.Speeding drivers stopped by the police this week are to be given the option of a fine - or a film show.
The Operation Slowdown campaign is to be run at speed and accident blackspots across Cornwall in a bid to reduce speed-related accidents, said the police. Motorists stopped for exceeding the legal limit will have the choice of paying a pounds 40 fixed penalty fine and collecting three penalty points on their licence, or visiting a nearby village hall to watch a road safety video and listen to advice on their driving.
