At TFL, we're making journeys safer for everyone, and that includes improving safety on London's roads.

That's why we and London boroughs are lowering more speed limits to 20 miles per hour,

because 20 miles per hour roads have already reduced collisions resulting in deaths or

serious injuries by 24%. That is how we're making journeys in London safer and brighter for everyone.

I guess the only reason I'm even telling the stories to somehow try to move past the things that

happen that day and the trauma and scars that had left me. My therapist says to move on,

I have to talk about it, and I don't want to talk to anyone I actually know, so here I am.

Telling strangers on the internet about the worst day of my life.

I live in what some people would call a third world country. I'm from the United States

originally, but moved to this place when I was relocated for work. I honestly figured it

wouldn't be that bad considering I was a man, and men usually are treated better in that country.

I don't want to name exactly where this was, because I really don't want things to turn

political or for people to make assumptions about what happened just based on the place.

Part of me is also worried that if I tell you where this happened, you'd be able to find an

article about it online and possibly find out who I am. But maybe that's the paranoia my therapist

was telling me about manifesting itself. Anyways, a little bit about me. I'm currently 32 years old,

but what this happened I was in my late 20s. At the time I was somewhat overweight and didn't

get out much, so when my job needed someone to relocate to another country, I volunteered,

figuring it would be the push that I needed to try new things and go new places.

I had to take five flights to get there and by the time the last flight landed,

I was completely exhausted and not at all excited about starting work in a whole new place.
