If its in a meter area surely there are other meters to get the ticket from? Otherwise get up early and see if its working then?

You shoudld use that reason for when you're ringing the clampers to pay the 90 euro fine. "I didnt put a ticket on my car cause it was the middle of the night, please come take it off for free"

This lady is so very correct, take the advice:D Either that or burn down the clamper van when it arrives:P

Take a picture of the meter and show it to them should you find a clamp on your car.

You must hold a copy of the newspaper in the picture as proof of the date.

CreepingDeath

Throw a camouflage net over your car.

I'd just burn out the car. You're too deep into this thing already! Now run away!!

ejmaztec

Disguise the meter as a scarecrow.

Holsten

Clamp the car with your own clamp yourself.

that's generally used to prove people are still alive on such a date and the fact that you have a particular day's newspaper doesn't really prove that you took the photo on the day the paper was issued


my solution: get a gun and shoot the clampers when they arrive

towel401

angle grinder to clamp.

CreepingDeath

Open the sunroof and fill your car with rubbish.
They'll think it's a skip.

Ah, but seeing as it is todays paper and and it is for the clampers tomorrow morning there aren't many other days he could have taken the photo on...

Feral Mutant

Crash the car into the meter, then it'll definitely still be out of order in the morning.

Rowley Birkin QC

Clamp yourself to the bed and take photos to show the clampers if they clamp your car.





Clamp.What an exceedingly silly word it becomes once it is said a few times.

Berty

Call the Gardai and tell them there is a bomb in the parking meter. The Gardai come along and close the street and if your are lucky the army will arrive and blow the parking meter to pieces.

I know this is AH and all but I found this hilarious...

What to do if the machine is out-of-order

If the machine is out of order, you must find another machine within the same zone (or a higher tariff zone). If this is not possible, contact us at 01 222 2218.

So... if you can't find another machine within the same tariff zone... you have to pay MORE?? Haha, don't think so...

That's from the DCC website btw.
