Car clamped by DCc

dccaresuckers

My car was clamped last Monday. I think it was unfair so I will like to hear some opinions. The reason for clamp was parking opposite continuous white line. There are three lanes on my opinion.

Pics following.

I have emailed garda and RSA.

Also got email from DCCpp

All opinions will be really appreciated.

I doubt that tbh :pac:

Except if you work for DCCPp and you clamp car illegally.
Why they are allowed to put a clamp if they are not police?? Do they have the knowledge to apply any law?

Traffic tickets and clamps are applied under bylaws, which allows civilians to apply said bylaws. The staff engaged in issuing tickets and clamps are generally permitted to undertake such work as "authorised persons".

But they are authorised but nobody can guarantee they now the rules.

Like all authorised licenced motorists knowing the rules about not parking opposite solid white lines?

Big road, you'll need to show us exactly.

You sure it wasn't for parking some other way?

artanevilla

Clonliffe is two lanes with the odd filter lane.

wexie

Just had a browse down Clonliffe road and from what I can tell the only places there are continuous white lines is around the junctions and there are double yellow lines on either side of the road?
(it's possible I missed something though of course)

When you pass the Mather DEI institute about 100 metres further there is a junction. There are two lanes in one side of the road . You can keep straight or turn right to the junction. There is another lane in the opposite direction.

If anyone can pot it I'm not allowed I'm a new member

Were you on the North side or the South side of the Jones Road junction?

Greybottle

If you're written appeal is a vague as your directions as to where you were parked then you're in bother.

The clampers were in the right here, I'd wager. They know their spots and where the usual suspects park. They also know the law on parking inside out. I'm not ruling out that they made a mistake, just that I'd reckon they are in the right.

Greybottle

Were you parked here by any chance?

Very close. You will see exactly in the parking space a lady with child pram

The lady with the pram is walking along the road where double yellow lines are

There's a small section with no lines.

Not three lanes though.

Greybottle

is it here:

If so I presume you were parked at the end of the double yellow line, but opposite the continuous white line, which is also in a "3 lane" section of the road.

I presume you were not blocking the entrance to the house.

dccaresuckers

There is an space with no yellow lines. Just in there
