Letter : Got the hump
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.Any psychology student looking for a project might consider researching a possible link between "road rage" and the proliferation of "traffic- calming" schemes ("Road rage suspect ruled out", 26 May).
As one for whom a shopping trip involves an obstacle course that would qualify me for active service in a tank regiment, it is unsurprising that I, and presumably most other motorists, traverse the final sleeping policeman in a rather militaristic frame of mind.
When I also calculate that the series of ridges, humps and games of "chicken" played with trucks through a mile-long concrete slalom have rendered it necessary to make appointments with the garage, the doctor, the dentist, the osteopath and the bank manager, an appearance in the County Court seems a fairly predictable sequel.
