    In fairness its probably a made up reg.

    Even if it's the real one. What difference does it make? Sure I can read anyone's reg on the road.

    Paranoia is very high mate.

    The only error was the one made by the mother inputting the reg. There was no parking paid for the vehicle that was clamped.


    there was full parking paid for the vehicle that was actually clamped however.

    I'm very highly educated. I know words, i have the best words, nobody has better words then me.

    Or to be more exact. There was no parking paid for the registration associated to the clamped car.

    Clampers may be big and bad but they're not mind-readers and can't be expected to anticipate human error as was the case here.

    100%, if you are a clamper and have a car park with 2-300 cars in it, what is the easiest way to see if the car has paid?? I'd go by the last 2 or three numbers of the reg, wouldn't care about the rest until I was confirming it was the correct car. If there is a car there not on the list, it's fair game to clamp.

    Why don't the clampers link the car reg you enter to the national vehicle data base, like they do at Dublin Airport Authority parking? This would prevent anyone from entering the incorrect reg number, as this system confirms the make, model and colour of your car to the number you've input

    99% of people who are clamped deserve it and I wish there were more of it.

    For every genuine story like the OP, there's a 100 ignorant fcukwits with a sense of entitlement.

    You have 1 too many fckuwits there mate.
    Unless of course you just made up those statistics....
