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.Start-the-week stress is taking its toll on motorists, according to the results of an industry survey. Research carried out for Admiral, a motor insurance company, showed that Monday sees more car accidents than any other day of the week.
The figures, taken from analysis of insurance claims, show that 18 per cent of all crashes took place on Monday - whereas only 9 per cent of the 1,281 accidents included in the survey took place on Sunday.
Pressurised commuters make the morning and evening rush-hours the most fraught times of the day to travel on the roads, with more than 30 per cent of all accidents occurring during the rush-hour peaks in the morning and evening.
"People are clearly stressed out going to work on Monday morning, with their heads crammed full of the busy week ahead," said a spokeswoman for Admiral. Johanna Montagu
