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.Sir: As I work with people whose lives have been destroyed by being knocked down by careless drivers and as a close relation was killed in the same way at the age of 18, I never really read through moaning articles from those who have been slightly inconvenienced by zealous or even by over-zealous traffic police.
On a brighter note, I would like John Walsh to know that buses are wonderful. You get to your destination almost as fast as by traffic jam, with the added benefit of exercise from the bit you have to walk. You can make a game of getting to know bizarre, convoluted bus routes and how to chop and change depending on how much time you have. You get to see parts that you never knew existed.
He may even strike up conversations with interesting people, including other punished drivers like himself. After such an exciting year, he'll sell his car and be done with it.
