Yet more stories emerging of overzealous clampers up and down Britain over the past week.There has been the case of a Bournemouth garage owner who saw three of his cars clamped by the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority ...on private land!
Then we had the story of an RAF pilot in Cheltenham who - only days after returning from duty in Afghanistan - was hit with a £340 fine for leaving his car parked 'illegaly' for less than two minutes to look in a shop window!
Now, we hear about a 20-year-old sales assistant from Southend who was hit with a mammoth £928 fine for not displaying a residents parking permit whilst she spent a 'few minutes' helping her heavily-pregnant friend up a flight of stairs.
All this on top of last week's story which saw Brent Magistrates hand out a jail sentence to a wheel-clamping boss from Uxbridge for breaching the new 'agressive trading' laws.
