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.QUESTION Mark Computing provided the pilot software for testing candidates on the theory portion of their driving tests. It is incorrect to state, as Fran Abrams did ("Colleges offer L-drivers lesson on road theory," 30 April), that the system was "dropped because of software problems". On the contrary, those most closely involved were delighted with the initial version. Any reasons for dropping the exam in computerised form - and no alternative has been announced as yet - must be found elsewhere.
