That

1. According to the rules above, that means, I cannot drive a car at night without a supervisor.(What does 'that' refer to here? Does it refer to 'according'? How is 'that' used compared to #2?)

2. According to the rules above, those mean, I cannot drive a car at night without a supervisor. (Is this sentence correct with 'those'? Sounds kind of strange.)

3. According to the rules above, they mean, I cannot drive a car at night without a supervisor. (Is the meaning the same as #2?)

4. According to the rules above, that mean, I cannot drive a car at night without a supervisor.(Does that refer to 'rules' here? With the plural verb 'mean', do I have to give more than one explanation? )

Thanks.
