got clamped and towed last week, from a free spot. €370. still, happy they missed the lack of tax disc and insurance, even as i drove out of the pound...

its seems a bit much, even if they were charging you for towing, tax, insurance and the parking thing.

But you did read in that time, didn't you?

Not really. Nothing that was grammar or punctuation heavy. Photocopies of other people's (or is it peoples') notes mainly. Alot of fullstops. The occasional comma.

original fine, doubled + towing + daily charge. only found out by accident as a mate saw it on the flatbed... got away w/o tax/insurance fine.

it was a free spot when i parked there a year ago anyway.

operating under licence though. i don't see how someone can lay claim to a spot on a public road unless operating under city council licence.

they're not operating under license? jaysus. What'd be the difference between them clamping someone or me buying a clamp, clamping someone, and asking for $$ to take it off? Same thing really. That surely doesn't happen, does it?

surely the best prevention is to buy your own clamp and put it on every time you park somewhere you're not sure of

Ah well, I was just trying to be a little bit funny.

This country! See article below. Senior civil servant recommends a 60% (no less) increase in parking fines in Dublin City. Turns out (see the comments below the piece) he's a director for a clamping company. What an absolute cunt:
