Rules on car clamping and who is allowed to immobilise your car

One of the most concerning incidents that can affect a motorist is if they return to their vehicle and find it has been clamped. But what are your rights as a driver in the UK and what can you do if this happens to you? The experts at LeaseElectricCar.co.uk have looked at what people in this situation can do.

A spokesperson for LeaseElectricCar.co.uk said: “It can be an absolute nightmare if you find your vehicle has been clamped. Your wheel will be immobilised and you will be unable to drive it away. The most important thing to do is to remain calm and gather your thoughts before deciding on the best course of action.

“The major thing to consider is to determine whether your car has been clamped on public or private land - this will go some way to helping you decide what to do next to remedy the situation.”
