Letter: Hogging the middle lane
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.From Mr David Watson
Sir: Dennis Walker (letter, 9 January) asks what exactly is wrong with the practice of continuing to drive in the middle lane of the motorway. The answer is simple: it is against the law.
Paragraph 164 of the Highway Code on motorway lane discipline states "Keep in the left hand lane unless overtaking".
I suggest that Mr Walker consults the Code before he next ventures out in his car.
Yours faithfully,
David Watson
