The Daily Mail often has a special place for campaigning on behalf of the poor motorist so hard done by with taxes and speeding fines so the following - from The Daily Mash - is a fitting antidote:
CLAMPING someone who sees a no-parking sign and then blatantly ignores it is a breach of their human rights, the RAC has claimed.RAC CALLS FOR BAN ON CLAMPING PEOPLE WHO IGNORE NO-PARKING SIGNS 
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.
Yet more corporate gibberish
...
"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."

Being illiterate is no excuse.
I used to work for a council in Scotland and remember hearing a roads engineer deal with a complaint from a resident who couldn't park in front of his own house.
"I build roads so folk can travel from A to B as efficiently as possible, parked vehicles prevent that so build a driveway."
Clamp em and ticket em and maybe they might factor that into their home buying decisions instead of blaming everybody else.
Just saying.
