    My brother was walking through Ranelagh yesterday when he came across some lunatic driving down the road with a public authority clamp still attached to his front passenger wheel.

    A total Homer Simpson moment. Enjoy.

    Don't they usually wrap the chain around the Axel?

    They wrap it around the wishbone, the car was rear wheel drive that's how he was able to keep it going in a straight line until the road began to camber and he couldn't steer.:D

    If he didn't park like a dick in the first place then he wouldn't have the clamp on his car. The fact that he drove with the clamp on just shows what a total dick he is.

    Apparently the Aul lad driving in the clamped care is this guy, if that's true I've no sympathy for him.

    There's a difference between parking like a dick and not topping up a meter though.
