Legal regulations behind wheel-clamping

[frozenlemon]

What are the legal regulations behind wheel-clamping, I have committed the same parking offence twice, once I was issued just a ticket, the other time (same district, same offence) I was issued a ticket and a clamp. What makes a parking offence liable for both? Where do the regulations behind clamping come in?

Dunno, maybe multiple offences allow clamping, so the warden on the second occasion checked the notebook/database, saw you were in it and arranged clamping.

Just had some bad experience with this myself
Before the Private Security Industry Act you could challenge clampnig on priovate land by claiming it iwas a trespass against your property
The Act then legalised it bot only if:
The offender never had the laondwoners permission to park there
The offnder knew he was liable by parking there

BUT, the clamper must be leicensed by the regulatory body www.the-sia.org.uk is that body

The conditions of this include clampers wearing phot id cards etc,
The receipt is where you may have a challenge, which l did
It Must contain the license number
Name and signature of the person taking the fee
Mine only had a name, so l chekced the on line register and bingo, he wsn't licensed
Different matter now
Criminal offcence on his part max �5000 fine
Worth checking

Got my money bask, so sheck your receipt

Other bits are clear signage etc

I was about to be clamped by a VOSA van but instead of arguing i drove off before the clamp was fitted, DVLA said they would just log it as a "Drive Away" but if i got clamped in the near future in the same car i would be fined for both offences. Apparently the process begins with the clamping, and if that has not happened you cannot be fined or prosicuted. This happened to an untaxed car on a public road.
