TREDWORTH, England, May 12 (UPI) -- An outraged British man said he sawed his son's car in half after local authorities clamped it for no reason.
Ian Taylor, 40 of Tredworth, England, said he was so upset to find his son's Ford Fiesta was impounded, he was prompted to use a power disc cutter to chop it in half to stand up for his beliefs, the Sun reported Monday.
Taylor said the car was registered to be parked off the street, but the clamper nailed him because two inches of the back end was sticking out of the driveway.
"I had to make a point. The vehicle was totally legal where it was. It was a drastic step but I stand by my decision," Taylor said.
Taylor said he told the clampers they could take the back end of the car because it was the section that violated the rules.
