Traffic Lights?
Hi All Can anyone tell me why a set of traffic lights would have 4 lights going down, the top one is red and is lit, at the same time the green light is lit at the bottom.

Ar rant (with apologies) - driving in snow.
Been out today when it has been snowing and again I am astounded b the sheer idiocy of drivers who did not keep a breaking distance suitable for dry roads, never mind covered in slush.

Do I keep my No Claims Discount?
I renewed my car insurance in December, and currently have 8 yrs NCD. The car is due to go in for an MOT in a couple of weeks, and I'm considering the worst case scenario that it may not be cost effective to have all the work done, in which case I will manage without a car for up to a year to put me in a better financial…
