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.TWO OUT of three drivers do not think speeding is a problem and nearly half want permitted motorway speeds to be raised, says a survey based on replies from nearly 1,000 motorists. More than seven in 10 drivers were against government proposals to ease congestion by charging motorists to enter urban areas.
The introduction of more speed cameras was opposed by 88 per cent of those in the survey, conducted by the insurance company Peoples Choice.
"British motorists want to keep driving, with many insisting on using the car even if public transport improves," said Philip da Silva, Peoples Choice managing director.
