Bolt-cutter can cut thru the padlock but I dont think it is a good idea, you can be sued for damaging government property if you do that. It happened once in Cebu the guy was fined 15T-20T as a replacement for the damaged clamp

As long as its not abused nga, possibly a better option than rapidly towing the car, w/c as I witnessed one in action, damaged the towed car a bit, as well as no info was left somewhere for the owner by the tow truck, to inform him/her of what happened. At least sa clamp, the ride is still there, and if the owner/driver wants to contest the accused offense, he/she can still pic the actual parking and clamping.

the US has been doing this for sometime. kung illegally parked naman talaga, tama lang naman "hulihin" nila. and isn't this a lot better than going back and not seeing your car where you left it? at least hindi ka na kakabahan na baka na carnap ang auto mo. also, there's no danger na ma-da-damage ang auto mo by inexperienced towing guys.

as for those asking if the clamp can be broken, bakit naman? this forum is all about highlighting those who break traffic laws, diba?

pero tama din si caloyski5, sana hindi abusuhin.

Kung hindi aabusuhin, mas maganda na yan kesa mag tow sila, iwas damage. May iba kasing pasaway na drivers who are asking for it.

Naku kung ma-tow yung E34 ko....A/T kasi e. Major damage kaagad yun. Oks na itong clamp.

Dapat ma-clamp yung mga nasa "Wow Great Parking" na threads.

tanong lang, bakit naglalagay ng no parking sign? diba para hindi ka makaabala ng traffic? so tama lang ung pag tow. e kung i-clamp ung auto mo ano matutulong non sa traffic? yes, mas madali para sa mga illegal parking e ano pa silbi nung pag lagay ng illegal parking kung hahayaan ka lang din mag park don as long as you can pay. parang mahal na parking space lang ang mangyayari.

ok yung clamping, pero wag nga abusuhin, park at your own risk=)

**BoEinG_747** · February 18th, 2006 04:41 PM

iyan magiging problem dito ...

baka abusuhin ng mga taga city hall or mmda

gaya ng unang pinatupad ang pag batak ng mga sasakyan

ang mga towing company ang bigla na lang mag babatak kaliwat kanan

di naman nila alam ang batas na ano at kaylan mo masasabi naka park ang sasakyan

basta nakahinto lang bgla na may baba.at kakabitan

na ng kadena or belt ang harapan ng car

tanong lang po, malinaw bang mey nakalagay na 'no parking' sign sa mga lugar kung saan kinakabitan ng clamp yung mga nakaparada? kung ganon, dapat lang parusahan yung pumarada! pero kung walang sign, eh di dapat pwedeng i-contest!
