CLAMPING someone who sees a no-parking sign and then blatantly ignores it is a breach of their human rights, the RAC has claimed.

Yet more corporate gibberish
The motoring organisation said thousands of drivers are being forced to pay large fines simply because they think they can park their car wherever they bloody well feel like.

An RAC Foundation spokesman said: "Drivers are far too busy to read large yellow signs with big, black letters and confusing messages such as 'No parking - you will be clamped'. What does that even mean?

"It's typical of these companies to use this kind of gobble-di- gook. If they mean 'no parking' then just say 'no parking'. Perhaps with a large yellow sign and big, black letters."

He added: "And anyway, most of the signs had fallen off, or the drivers had to park there because their grandmother had just died, or they have a medical condition which means they have to go to the toilet every 20 minutes and if they can't park their car they will, sadly, poo themselves."

Tom Logan, director of Bastards Ltd, a London-based clamping firm, said: "Look, I would not be in the wheel clamping business if I was anything other than a total shit.

"But in my defence there is a huge yellow and black sign that says don't park here or we'll clamp you. There is - and you know there is."
