[quote author=Marmalade link=1348055120/2#2 date=1348356013]I'd prefer clamping stayed.
If people are too self important to check for clamping signs and just dumping cars on other peoples because it's too far to walk from a car park then getting clamped was their own stupid fault.
Now we are all going to be worse off as getting a ticket from private car parks will be more enforceable as you will be legally required to give driver details as you are to councils etc.
So noe overstaying in the services for 15 mins or going shopping a bit to long will mean parking tickets hassle instead of ignoring it.
Parking tickets issued to motorists on private land are presently the responsibility of the driver. Currently the registered keeper can effectively pretend that they were not the driver (when, in fact, in many cases they were) - to avoid proper and legitimate action for breach of contract or trespass. This is unfair and the new Act recognises this by providing for a duty on the keeper to identify the driver when enquiries are made by the landowner or his agent. Failing this, the keeper becomes liable for any parking charges due as a result of the breach of contract or trespass. This will make it easier for parking operators to more effectively manage parking on private land. This ensures universal fairness.
