You only see these every so often, and they are always high up. There is no other markings on the sign, just horizontal black stripes of varying thicknesses like a bar code (no numbers though)

the green light, when a Durango smashed into my rear driver's side door from my left , smashing it in. I drive a 89 toyota camry. He was coming from the other light. I called my and his insurance and explained what happened. The police didnt do a police report because they said that unless someone is injured or the car is totaled, they do not do police reports. There were no witnesses. His insurance is saying that he says I ran the red light. Is anyone familiar with what the insurance company will decide? Based on proof that is lacking, what their decision will be? I know I had the green light but Im really upset that this man is lying and want to know what the decision will be in the end.

I've tried a lot of big-name rental car companies, and they only offer cars with automatic transmissions.

I have a 90 Toyota Celica, ST (4AFE) Auto, and I just put a new motor in it. I got it to run for about a half hour, then it just died. I couldn't get it to run again for a few days, then got it to, and it ran for about 30 mins again, then, when I stepped on the excelerator, it stalled, and now wont start. The starter works, because it's new too. There's no problem with the Fuel Pump, and other than that, I can't figure out the problem. If any mechanics have any ideas, please help.

I was taking a cab to the train station in Montreal to come home for Thanksgiving. I've taken cabs before, and had no problems, but this one was different. He was very persistent in hitting on men, even after I made it obvious I was not interested and had a boyfriend. I don't even understand because I'm not that attractive. He asked me to spend time with him before my train left, asked me for my phone number, gave me his phone number... asked me a bunch of personal info, and said something along the lines of, "You're a very pretty girl... we could go out, have something to eat, I could take you shopping, buy you lots of nice things. You're 18, right? We could go back to my place, have some wine... and what happens from there is up to you." I kept saying no, and asking him to stop, but he was very persistent right until he dropped me off. (I made him drop me off by a security guard.) Am I just reading too much into this? Should I report him or just let it go?

My wife needs to travel 1 way from Manchester to Exeter in the new year. Railfare at £75 is prohibitively expensive, National bus at £44 is about the same as the fuel if I were to drive up & fetch her by car, but she hates travelling by bus. She's been quoted £24 to fly (that's £9 airfare + £13 taxes), but she's worried that flying will cause more pollution than the other methods. How much worse pollution, if any, will flying cause than any other option?

This light is independent of the traffic light for the other lanes, and is always green except when the traffic to the left has a green light and the oncoming traffic has a green light to turn left.

I have seen many people treat this red light as if it were a stop sign or flashing red; They come to a stop and then proceed after checking traffic. This makes some sense to me but I thought that when there is a changing traffic light specific to this lane, you are to stop and remain stopped until it turns green. Granted, I took the writing portion of the driver's test about 22 years ago, but for some reason it is emblazoned in my brain.

Am I right?
