| 0:07.4 | That's why we and London boroughs are lowering more speed limits to 20 miles per hour, |
| 0:12.3 | because 20 miles per hour roads have already reduced collisions resulting in deaths or |
| 0:16.8 | serious injuries by 24%. That is how we're making journeys in London safer and brighter for everyone. |

| 0:42.2 | This is CBS Eye on the World. I'm John Bachelor. The electric vehicle, the EV market, |
