I am beginning to see a recurring trend in this thread.

By any chance have all the posters on here been clamped for parking on private land before?

nope , never been clamped , never had a parking ticket , have never had a speeding ticket , i have had a clean license since i passed my test 18 years ago . and i have never been towed away .

do you have to be the victim of injustice to fight against it ?

we still wait to see if the answer i gave to your question a few posts back clears things up for you .

Speaking for myself I have never been clamped (private or otherwise) and never received a parking ticket (private or otherwise). The impression you give is of being pedantic for the sake of it. Indeed people will stop engaging with you and you can carry on frothing and enjoying your own form of onanism on this forum.

I did get a parking ticket once, but that was my fault so I accepted the ticket and paid it.

I am not being pedantic for the sake of it, I am just replying to the numerous posts that are quite childish and insulting, because they have come across somebody who happens not to agree with what they are saying.

People will stop engaging with me, :rotfl:

I echo this with the only difference being 40plus years passed.

Daddy's Golf club have one, so that means every business should?

What about a small shop that has parking for 10 cars outside? Staff need 4 spaces, customers 6.

Could a small shop install barriers and retractable poles? Would a customer wait while you fiddled with a pole so they could park?

Do customers have swipe cards to visit your shop?


Your whole comment is stupid because you are too narrow minded to think that all business can implement such ideas to stop people abusing their parking spaces.


Oh wait, they could employ a full time parking attendant couldn't they? Yes the small shop could do that.

now who has gone off subject . you scold others , yet ignore answers you get that you do not like .

also "daddies Golf club" remark = childish

The answer you gave a few posts back, was to answer a question with a question.

Therefore it is not an answer. I did not feel the need to give a response to your question, as it has been covered already.

So because somebody passed their test in WW2 in a tank, that makes their opinion right and everybody else wrong?

There are plenty of solutions. They can install barriers, they can install retractable poles that come with a lock, they can install other devices that restrict access but do not come with barriers. For example something that will retract on the ground once a swipe has been presented to an electronic pole. My Dad's Golf club have one.

There are plenty of ways. To claim otherwise is stupidity.

But at my work we are unable to install these things as a door which often gets parked in front of is a fire Exit. It opens outwards and you need a clear area for people to exit the building should they have too in an emergency so erecting any sort of barrier is not allowed to preserve the safety of my staff.

What can i do now?Even the Fire service have told us we need a certain area clear to help people escape

Though i agree its an isolated case we have relied on our own clamping & towing firm in the past and we set the charges not them - we have to as its a railway station and we cant have people leaving their cars there all day when the exit could be needed.

Instead of getting rid of them all together they should have set out more stringent rules for them and got local councils to set the prices or something rather then just outlawing them

just my opinion as i want to keep my staff safe

Coupon-mad

- I have never been clamped - you don't have to have fallen victim to realise that the practice was frequently criminal but not being enforced by police. I have never been burgled either but I have the same opinion on that.

- Had a real Council ticket years ago and paid it (I realise now I should have appealed as it was a yellow line with no signage but never mind, you live and learn!).

- Had a scam PPC ticket last year and ignored it of course, and would do so again.

- I don't park unauthorised on people's driveways, nor on private 'disabled bays'.

YAY!! CLAMPING AND TOWING BY PRIVATE THUGS IS TO BE BANNED!!
