trappa 518 Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 Your probably better off going to a car forum. I would guess the car buffs will know everything about that sort of situation, on here you will only get guessing i bet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Squirrel_Basher 17,100 Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 When i worked on the phone towers we had many clamps as parking was hard to come by in main streets .Our boss always said cut them off with the disc cutter as our time was worth morethan any fine,if it arrived .Out of 23 clamps i remember cutting off ,only 4 demands were ever recieved by the company and these were ignored and nothing ever came of it .Take no notice of thse who says its criminal damage as most clampers are operating outside the law themselves. Cut one off infront the guy who put it on despite him phoning old bill .We were gone before they got there . Stand up against these vermin . Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I would presume that photographs were taken as evidence as well. Why does yer mate reckon he should not pay his tax? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
