Letter: Drink-driving
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 Opinions column ('Would you favour a total ban on drinking and driving?', 12 December) followed reports of a survey that drivers aged 18 to 30 were unlikely to drink and drive on principle. But a few months ago it was proposed that because of their appalling accident rate the under-25s should have limits placed on their speed and the size of their engines.
So these drivers, who are least capable of driving without colliding with people and things, consider themselves qualified to judge the safe driving ability of others simply because they do not drink and drive? How absurd]
