Letter: You don't have to be a sexist pig to hog the road
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.MARK BISHOP (Letters, 7 February) tries hard to pose as the reasonable face of motoring but, like one of his Performance Car readers stuck behind an obstinate fool who insists on keeping within the legallimit, he soon loses patience and, by the final paragraph, he's giving it some welly.
There's nothing wrong with driving at '80-90mph on a dry, empty motorway or rural B-road away from villages', he blithely asserts. Well, next time I'm driving or cycling or walking on a pleasant little road in the country and some arrogant, turbocharged sociopath comes hurtling around the corner in his pathetic penis- substitute, at least I'll have an idea that it may be a Performance Car reader . . .
