Good grief, that Bert666 chap really was thick as pig****.

It all seems to hinge on whether there is a contract, and the judge in
that Oldham case obviously took the view that there was, so it seems
things are not cut and dried.


Of course you *could* angle grind the clamp off (which would be
criminal damage) and invite the clampers to sue you for the cost.
However, mysteriously, even though there are many cases of people
doing this, no clamping firm has tried it.

The clamping firm would simply ring the police and you would be arrested.

If you can get the clamp off without damaging it then no problem.

However, remember that clampers do not usually wait long after clamping a
car before they tow it. They make more money that way and they are paid on a
commision basis.
