Cancelling a DD on my account that's paying someone else's policy?
Awkward situation - GF's father persuaded GF to 'temporarily' allow his car insurance to be taken by DD from her bank account. Guess what, 8 months down the line, it's still coming out, and it's made her go overdrawn two months in a row, meaning I have had to pay it to bail her out. He has been asked politely to rearrange…

death of registered keeper - vehicle tax
What happens regarding vehicle tax when the registered keeper/owner of a vehicle dies and the vehicle is inherited? As "the tax is no longer transferable", does that mean that technically the vehicle is no longer taxed when the owner dies and that it should not be used by anyone else who is an insured driver of the vehicle?

30MPH Flashing warning signs
I have seen a 30MPH Flashing warning sign on a A road where the speed goes from 60 to 30 Can these signs catch people exceeding 60 in the 60 zone or are they just to warn if someone exceeds 30 in the 30 limit?
