Out of date clamping signage

Never ceases to amaze me how many of these 'private property, unauthorised vehicles will be clamped' signs still seem to persist. In the case of a 'certain driver' today, he has had little option but to park underneath one as the trampoline park next door is full to bursting.

Maybe that was a bit naughty, but so are the signs, so the driver thinks it's providing a valuable learning experience for someone.

Will certainly be fun to see if anything at all happens here, especially as there is no other signage, anywhere, about PCNs - nothing mentioned other than a clamp release fee!

  • I think you will find most of the "clamping" Cos have shut down , and often landowners "borrow" old signs and afix to their property in a hope of deter ant

    There is a small parade of shops near me with a free (no signs) car park.
    Right outside a Tesco Express is a big sign warning that clamping is in operation

    Nobody takes any notice

    A sign starting clamping scaring away people, is better than a ppc ticketing scaring people into paying.
