DVLA Operation in Sainsburys Car Park
Discussion
Apparently there was a big DVLA operation at Sainsburys in Oxford today, clamping any untaxed or uninsured vehicles in the car park. I didnt see it myself but the OH said it was bloody hilarious, people(chavs) coming back to find their cars clamped. Im gutted i missed it as I was at work, but if I was I wasn't I would have been straight down there, parked up and treated myself to bag of popcorn.
Anyone else see it? Or experienced similar? I guess Sainsburys would have had to agree to this in advance?

I suspect they must have watched them drive in and then got permission from Sainsbury to clamp on their land. If they didn't seem than actually drive on the road I don't think they can take action as you said it's private land and surely doesn't matter if you have tax etc.ED209 said:

I don't think it works like that, similar to how you can be prosecuted for drink driving / without due care etc I believe it extends to any land the public have access to. When it's done around here they pull people on the road and direct them into car parks to deal with them - presumably with the CP owners consent.
