Wheel Clamping on Private Land to be Banned

Do you or 99.999999999% of the general public even own a wheel clamp? No? It's not an issue then is it?
Its already illegal to clamp a car unless you have the appropriate SIA licence.
I can see that plan resulting in a few of you getting a slap.
Even if it's not on a council adopted road?
You can try but they will do nothing to help you.
Trolley jack and nearest pond TBH, if it was ever a problem (e.g. parking there after being asked what they thought they were doing). Since most people seem not to leave their car in gear.
Even if it were relevent to this discussion, which it's not for reasons given above, I have never heard of anyone having problems with people parking in their driveway.

Apart from that being criminal damage, surely they will be stuck on your land, taking up a valuable parking space for a lot longer if they cant drive away due to having their tyres slashed?
Its more the, once bitten twice shy approach, it will stop repeat offenders just like the clamping used to
Are you honestly being serious? I dont know where you live but i promise you in London or most other cities slashing peoples tyres is going to result in best case scenario police station, worst hospital.
Also while you are on going Rambo with peoples tyres why would you give a **** about new clamping rules, just clamp them and slash them.

This sucks. Maybe 1/3 of the time I come home I can't park because someone has thought it's acceptable to park in my space which I pay for. Not so much of a problem for me but a number of the residents are elderly and can't be having to keep moving their cars around.
Currently we can get persistent offenders clamped or at least threaten it and they go away, but now we have no leg to stand on and will have to pay for a locking gate to be put in which is hassle for everyone.
What a stupid waste of time that peoples selfishness results in this.

Happens all the time here, driveway next to a busy car park in Bowness, every bank holiday someone parks in our drive. We simply block them in, wait for them to return, "strugle" to find who has the key for that car right now, go for a walk, return, then maybe move.
North Wales, they cant go to the police over it without admitting the trespass and even if they were that stupid the wouldn't be any way to catch us as our cctv would have suffered a mysterious power cut at the time and the police round here would sympathise with us anyway.
I'm beginning to think slashing the tyres may be a bad move tho as the is no telling how long they will take to get towed so I think smashed mirrors or just general keying may be preferable.
People can say were being extremist all you like but if the government are removing our legal ability to protect our property then we shall simply have to use an illegal one
He must have been the target of racism, because he isn't white.
No way I would stay there for 30 hours, Phone dad to bring the angle grinder and cut the clamps off, job done.
hahaha, that thread is turning the whole forum epic
How very British. Why not give them a piece of your mind, it will feel better than bottling it up by going on a 'time wasting revenge walk'
