Letter: Don't leave the engine running
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.Sir: Fumes from all stationary vehicles with running engines are noxious, those from petrol engines with catalytic converters in less than perfect condition or not fully warmed up being particularly bad. Round here, drivers who do not switch their engines off while waiting frequently compound their antisocial behaviour by committing the actual offence of getting out of their vehicles while the engine is on.
I can assure W A White (letter, 10 September) that warm or cold, and even in the dampest of ambient conditions, a diesel always starts as instantly as switching on a light.
