Clamped cars, Aberdeen.

[MGZRod]

Two clamped cars on the road going along halfords in kittybruster. Then another one on a wee side road. One had a big orange sticker in window. What's going on?!

I thought it was illegal to clamp in Scotland?

Will be for no tax - quite legal.

DVLA, I spotted 4 on my way to work on Monday!!

Bizarre, never seen clamped cars in Aberdeen in my life until today!

Saw one of the cars, a Laguna, when coming out of the Kittybrewster Retail Park - with a large "unpaid excise" sticker on the drivers door window.... Have to admit think that's my first clamped car I've seen here.

Yep, old Laguna and a new shape micra, then something else round the corner which I didn't see properly.

across the road from snappy tomato on great northern road - the pink 3 wheeler there was clamped for few weeks iirc?

eta - kittybrewster does seem to have a few clamped cars now and again. on the street outside the car park mostly.

I saw the Laguna yesterday. It's actually great to see people being penalised for not keeping their car legal. It make the rest of us that spend hundreds / thousands a year feel better!

Yup Dyce, I remember your blue 106 from a couple of years ago (I have a mate who lives round the corner)

Back to the clamp, is it a Tax evasion one or owners private one ?? (looks too tatty to be an owners one) I have only driven by.

Thought they would tow the cars instead of clamping them...

Back for a week to remind the family who we are and flew back to Calgary late last night (despite BA's best efforts by cancelling the midday ABZ/LHR flight). Will be back to Aberdeen for good in August, or whenever the Canucks decide they've had enough of me.
