Nissan LEAF EV: 15,000 sold worldwide, but UK hasn’t fallen for electric cars

But from our perspective the LEAF is an orange trying to be a banana.

Cop saves life of choking driver

A US POLICE officer saved a motorist in Kalamazoo, Michigan, who was choking after stopping her for driving through a red light.
