you occasionally see clamped cars but it's obvious it's the local authorities/police doing it for car tax evasion etc.
people up here usually get barriers put in when they want to deter rogue motorists. looks like some folks down south could take a leaf out of our book!

no, and the only time I ever did so (unwittingly using an allocated, but nonetheless unmarked, private spot for a few days) I received a polite note under my wiper asking me to desist.
parking is sometimes a bit of a free-for-all, but Glasgow is a big city!0 -

Precisely.
There is nothing to stop you relocating it to the main road, for instance, as long as you do not damage the car.
On the very odd instance this sort of thing has happened (people parking on the wrong drive in error) that has been the advice of Plod. I last read about something like this happening 6 years ago."There's no such thing as Macra. Macra do not exist."

There is legal precedent to allow private firms to fine errant parkers.

Unfortunately, as i'm sure you well know, a lone and almost unique judgement in a County/Sheriffs court does not create a legal precedent0

Hmm, I saw this this morning as well. It seems a little odd that she first of all she said that the permit had fallen down behind the tax disc and is now claiming that the clampers broke in to her car and moved it. Whitehouse has certainly not done himself any favours here at all, but he did point out something plausible, about residents lending out their discs to others. I am sure this does really go one. I am also sure there is more to this than meets the eye, on both sides. He also made a similar point as I did about what will the residents be complaining about when the clampers go.The greater danger, for most of us, lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low and achieving our mark0
