Summary: What’s the wheel clamp?
Content:
A wheel clamp, also known as wheel boot, parking boot, or Denver boot, is a device that is designed to prevent
vehicles from being moved. In its most common form, it consists of a clamp that surrounds a vehicle wheel,
designed to prevent removal of both itself and the wheel.
It has four main functions:
· To crack down on unauthorised or illegal parking, in lieu of towing the offending vehicle; in these cases, police or
property owners who place the clamp may charge a high "release fee" to remove it
· For security purposes, such as preventing a car, trailer, or caravan from being driven or towed away by a thief
· To preclude escape of a prosecuted person
· To prevent driving by a suspended driver or moving of a disabled vehicle
