Congestion warning as festive traffic set to peak on Friday with 24.4m car trips
"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."
"This Christmas could be the busiest on record for UK roads, with traffic expected to peak on Friday and millions of cars expected on the UK's roads. The AA, which produced the estimate, said a continuing upward trend since the lifting of coronavirus travel restrictions could see the busiest Christmas on the roads on record. A survey of more than 10,000 AA members found 72 per cent said they planned to travel that day equating to around 24.4 million cars hitting the road."
The Independent requests donations to fund reporters covering reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech. The appeal highlights investigations into Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and a documentary, 'The A Word', focusing on American women fighting for reproductive rights. The Independent emphasizes parsing facts from messaging, sending journalists to speak to both sides, and keeping reporting accessible without paywalls funded by those who can afford to pay. The AA forecasts a potentially record-breaking Christmas for UK roads as travel rebounds; an AA survey of over 10,000 members found 72% plan to travel, equating to about 24.4 million cars, with most journeys local and congestion likely around retail hotspots and motorway interchanges.
