As the clampers normally clamp a front wheel would they have been
trespassing to do it?

LOL, that gives me an idea, grab a spanner & leave them the strut, hub
and radius arm by the kerb. If you want it back on the road then get
round the scrappy for a replacement, shouldn't be too expensive for a
ratty fiesta.
NCP, what can I say, if there's easy money to be made from captive
markets then they'll make it . . . .

But what if you then chained all these bits up that you have removed and ran
the chain through the clamp. You have not pinched it. Charge NCP a fee for
the removal of the chain.

I have only had the pleasure of the clamp once. I did not laugh that day.

Well I hope he gets done for no insurance as well as no tax.
The damn thing shouldn't have been on the pavement even if it were taxed.

By a whole 2 inches ? - he tried to conform with the spirit of the
law, and made a minor error.
Would you be as indignant if you were in a car park, and got clamped
for being a small amount over a marked bay ? What if you were
prevented from parking fully within that bay by a.n.other's bad
parking ?

He said 2 inches, they said half a car.
Looking at the video I expect they were correct.
They claim to have photographic evidence.

Poor driving, its inconsiderate for the driver next door.

So he needs clamping, why do you want to make it two wrongs?

It may be poor driving, but does it deserve a fine, maybe of a couple of
hundred pounds?
I used to work with a bloke who got 3 points and a fine for his bumper
overhanging the zigzags by a crossing by just over an inch.

So how much should one be allowed to break a law before it is wrong?

There's blatant ignorance, and there's trying to stick to the spirit
of the law.
Doing 31mph in a 30mph zone might strictly be an offence, but i'm all
for latitude in these things, rather than automated criminalisation (I
have no points on my licence, so i'm not coming at this from an "I
shouldn't have been done" stance :-} )
