Car clamping
4 Answers
I have heard that you have to be given 8 minutes before they can clamp your car - is this true? i recently had my car clamped and on the paperwork it says time of detection 11:08 and time of clamping 11:11. Just wondering if I have grounds of appeal?

some private land is not obviously signed ie it could be a layby outside a premises or appear to be a regular council run car park.
footage was shown on a tv news report of clampers hiding behind a wall waiting for unsuspecting prey.
as soon as they had left their vehicle they pounced and then demanded a ridiculous amount of cash for removal of the clamp.
in these cases there was no time period of grace
