saint_george Posted March 19, 2006 Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 Did you know that you can legaly remove a clamp as long as you don't damage it and it's not a council clamp? What you do is jack up the car at the jacking point nearest to the clamped wheel, deflate the tyre by about a third then simply slip the clamp off. Then you let down the jack, drive to the nearest garage and pump up your tyre. It will work on most older style clamps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MC Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 I did this a few years ago, I've still got the clamp in my garage. It cost them more than it cost me. Cheers MC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riothedog Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 Even though I hate traffic wardens and clampers, it's not as much as I hate the society that has bred the need for them. What have we become, eh? A friend of mine has just had a baby boy so I decided to go 'round and say hello. Pulled up outside the florist to get some flowers and came out to find a £30 ticket! ******. £45 for 6 roses. I would sooner change society so that we neither want or need traffic wardens and their like. All they do is levy another form of tax. Call it what you want but it's the government taking money out of your pocket. It's a form of tax. Rant RTD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
