    Haha nice one ;).

    Did you use a bolt cutter? And when you say handed back do you literally mean it? Don't think I would like to deal with him after cutting the lock :/

    Where abouts you parked? If youre on main street then the clampers may be acting on behalf of the council which I believe is generally considered a no-no to try take the clamp off as they have the law behind them.

    I don't think Naas Town Council operates a clamp system but rather a post pay ticket system.

    It never would have started if people park properly and with consideration.

    Instead, what happens when parking is free is people arrive and dump their cars where it suits and use town/city centres etc as park and rides or the people working there take the spaces for the day meaning theres no parking for anyone else.

    Why? I know its not relly in peoples nature to think before they rabble as soon as the subject of clamping comes up but I'm sure theres a petrol station in or around Naas or a local shop on the OP's way where change could be gotten.

    the punishment is disproportionate to the offense imo

    Don't start me man. Drove a 97 clapped out corsa for 2 years.

    I was in first year in UCC this year and travelled up every friday to work in a hotel in Dublin. That involved being up at 5am and travelling into the city centre working about a 10/11 hour shift on my feet as a waiter/stillroom attendant for minimum wage doing the same the next day before travelling back down sunday night to college exhausted with a week of college ahead of me.

    I have a student loan I pay myself, pay my own tax, insurance, petrol, food etc.

    I have had to hand over most of the money I ever had due to my families circumstances when my dad left.

    My mam was in a position this year to reimburse me and I was able to get the car.

    so please take your judgement elsewhere!

    It is my pride and joy that car.
