Letter: Motorist's misery
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.From Ms Carolyn Beckingham
Sir: I had my first experience of being driven on the M25 last Friday. South Mimms service station was the point at which the party took a wrong turning and had to make a detour via Luton. Here is my list of how to prevent motorists suffering from stress.
Let signposts make it clear whether one is facing east, west, south or north.
Let them be at an angle where they can be seen at night by someone with not more than average eyesight who has to steer a car while reading them.
Let a town that is signposted at one roundabout also be signposted at the next.
Let other drivers remember that no one's driving is improved by being hooted at, especially when searching for the right exit.
Better still, let us have better public transport, both for private travellers and freight.
Yours faithfully,
