new rules for bleep bleep bleep!!!!!clampers

:multiply:There i was outside my workshop on friday afternoon all my loyal customers repairs done when i decided nothing i can do to my v8 rangey engine until the new bit arrives(or big green monster as my wife has called it) when i thought i might as well start taking the 3 inch body lift off the parts one round back of my unit
the green monster is parked and a grassed hard standing outside of the front off my unit under a camera for safe keeping, as i was taking the nuts of the back end when i heard a van pull up and a rattle of chains, so i walk round to see what the noise was. the boys in blue and a clamping guy. who imediatley gave me a peice of paper about new clamping laws
this i can understand but the rangey is registerd to the garage and is under going repairs for mot as they are bloody good for pulling cleints out of ditches and so forth so i pointed this out to clamper and pc plod and he
started going on about the rangey not having trade plates displayed so he could clamp it & thats the end of it so i thought hang on a mo, that means if a customer bring a vechicle in for repair and its an old er rangerover they,ve brought as project and it needs bits and peices for mot then that to can be clamped never mind it being coverd by garages insurance as my garage is only big enough to work on one vechicle at a
time means the side land & private parking area is useless so they carried on to clamp it so thanks to who ever it was that stole the alloy wheels it was stood on cause the rangey is now parked in my grandads barn and usual story so sign of the police over the wheels there just trying to do me moving my vechicle, never mind that it took me all weekned to find out the had clamp it illegaly but bewarned any one with project vechicles outside your house the bleep,bleep,bleeps can clamp where ever
they want
so sign of police yet

What did this peice of paper say then?

shot clampers do happen on the moor...........

tell them you did not personally remove the clamp
"possibly captain clamper" they will **** and whine and drop it as cps want 70% chance and unless you give them video footage they have feck all chance.

We cut a clamp off and dumped it in a scrap bin, had claim for clamp and fine-told them never saw a clamp wtf you on about=nothing more

This letter advises you about an important change to the law.new powers were introduced in the 2009 fiance act that make it an offence to use or keep an untaxed vechicle in off-road area unless a valid statuary off road notice is in force.the only exceptions are where a vechicle is on land assoiciated with a dwelling or is kept at the bussiness premises of a motor trader or vechicle tester.

the change gives authorised persons the power of entry to carry out enforcement action including clamping and removal of untaxed vechicles in off-road areas such private and muncipal car parks, retail car parks,housing association roads,unadopted roads, common land etc. so it means your open front driveway is no longer safe as the bleep,bleep,bleep
came and clamped the parts range rover this evening and i have declared that one scrapped, but they said they can clamp it

Only if you have an open front drive is classed as public access if its gated your safe but then it has to be padlocked

thats why i thought my place of bussiness was safe

Hmm - gates no allowed on my leasehold agreement.


As always - the intention is good (get the sods that dump untaxed cars and say "it's not on the road") but the application is unfair.

A bit like TROs to stop illegal drivers - who'll ignore the TROs!!!

totally understand where this law comes from, as there are sh*t loads of untaxed cars languishing in private car parks and on housing association land. This shouldn't extend to vehicles on garage land though.

once again, the government has fudged the issue and bolloxed it up for the rest of us.

try that **** at my place they will need an ambulance and a fecking riot van.

as I said before you thought they had removed the clamp after you left or it was removed by persons unknown.
