Nottingham makes the top ten of car clamping in the UK
The DVLA have released figures for the top ten cities/areas for wheel clamping in the UK and Nottingham has made it to the number 8 spot. When we are out and about providing removals and storage services in Nottingham we often see cars that have been clamped, mostly the £500 variety. We were very surprised just how high those figures are. It is very simple to pay online or set up direct debits, so why do so many vehicles get clamped? It is apparently a common error on the owners of zero emission vehicles who pay no vehicle excise tax. These owners must still go online every 12 months and tick a few boxes to stay legal.
