    What is the situation if I give my wife permission to put a clamp on my car? Could I get her put away?
    Apart from the fact that you are now stretching the elastic a little thin, and you have already been advised to look at the Act, why don't you do that? You too could then understand what the law's intentions are. Linky
    Answering you question: Assuming that you have the right to continue to use the vehicle then neither you nor your wife would be guilty of an offence - See s.54(4). Now please go!
    My very sincere apologies for those hoping to request off-board assistance but I am now so inundated with requests that in order to do justice to those "already in the system" I am no longer accepting PM's and am unlikely to do so for the foreseeable future (August 2016). :(

    For those seeking more detailed advice and guidance regarding small claims cases arising from private parking issues I recommend that you visit the Private Parking forum on PePiPoo.com
  • ILW - whay do you go back to other boards and post you inane comments there? - ps hope your knees are better now!
  • Perhaps the school teachers could collective write to the Board of Governors who oversee appointments of Head Teachers.

    The relevant wording is as follows

    A person commits an offence who, without lawful authority—

    (a)immobilises a motor vehicle by the attachment to the vehicle, or a part of it, of an immobilising device, or

    (b)moves, or restricts the movement of, such a vehicle by any means,

    intending to prevent or inhibit the removal of the vehicle by a person otherwise entitled to remove it.

    The bit in bold answers the theoretical questions about clamping wife's car. If to stop thieves pinching it, you would be OK. If to stop her seeing a lover when you were wasting time on a Forum then you would be acting unlawfully. :)

    Actually it would be "acting illegally" - a little picky I know ! :D

    Isn't it amusing how much disruption a troll can cause?

    You see its question was:
    What is the situation if I give my wife permission to put a clamp on my car? Could I get her put away?
    Presumably his reason for wanting his own car clamped would be to prevent it being towed away by the council exercising their powers under s.99 RTRA in the belief that having lain unused for many years and was effectively abandoned. One of the penalties of spending soooo much time on the forums. ;)

    I'm glad people can see this person for what it is, it has no interest in the subject, just here to post irrelevancies so people bite. Just a waste of space on this forum
    When posting a parking issue on MSE do not reveal any information that may enable PPCs to identify you. They DO monitor the forum.
    We don't need the following to help you.
    Name, Address, PCN Number, Exact Date Of Incident, Date On Invoice, Reg Number, Vehicle Picture, The Time You Entered & Left Car Park, Or The Amount of Time You Overstayed.
