Private wheel clamping is still lawful in England and Wales providing that there are adequate warning signs in place and the parking takes place on private land. However, the High Court decided in Scotland as long ago as 1992 that private wheel clamping could amount to extortion and theft. The unlawful removal of a clamp could lead to a prosecution for criminal damage.

Local parking regulations or restrictions are usually created by local authorities in exercise of their powers under e.g. The Road Traffic Regulations (Parking) Act 1986 or the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984, which permits the immobilisation of illegally parked vehicles. In the event of a dispute, the relevant local order should be checked, as should the warning signs in place to ensure that the strict requirements of the legislation have been met.
