Letter: Is your reporter safe driving by himself?
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.HAS ANYONE looked carefully at how much motorway we effectively sterilise with our 'only- overtake-to-the-right' rule? And then examined how the rule breaks down in heavy traffic?
The Americans get by perfectly well without these 'lane rules' - and with lower speed limits too. Why can we not try out the American system before spending millions on digging up the countryside?
To those who argue that abolishing these rules would be dangerous I would say: 'only to those who change lanes without using their rearview mirrors or traffic indicators'. Better it became an offence - as it is in Germany]
