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.

SANDY SULAIMAN diminishes an otherwise valid argument ('Why macho man resents fast women', Review, 7 February) with her choice of incidents to back up her claim.

If a 'tomato-red Corvette' had room to overtake her on the inside lane of the M40, then she was guilty of centre-lane hogging. The common but misguided belief that the inner lane is for slow traffic is one of the main causes of frustration (and possible accidents) for drivers who follow the correct procedure of trying to resume the inside lane as soon as possible, irrespective of speed.
