Letter: Police should drive the American way
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.YOUR item on bad driver behaviour in fog (Notebook, 27 December) reminded me of the technique I was told police used when freeways were first opened in the United States.
At holiday times, to curb reckless driving, police cars drove abreast along the lanes. We should adopt a similar system in Britain on those sections of the motorway affected by bad weather conditions, coupled perhaps with radio reports or information boards signalling the presence of a police convoy. It would be more effective and use less manpower than chasing blatant offenders. It might also persuade some of us to travel by train.
