On this week's edition of Cruise Control, we start off with Ariff's round up of the news in the motoring world - mainly the government's U-turn on the abolishment of toll collection and South Korea's BMW ban. Next, our automotive expert Daniel Fernandez discusses the charging station for electric cars and finally a quick chat about the price of the Mercedes AMG A45.
