Minicab tries to drive off with clamp on wheel

Rachel Blundy9 December 2015

A cab driver attempted to move off with his wheel in a clamp after parking in a restricted bay outside a luxury west London hotel.

The motorist got himself into an embarrassing situation when he ignored the clamp on his front wheel and tried to head off outside the Park Tower hotel in Knightsbridge.

But as he struggled to move the vehicle more than a few feet, a man walked up to his window and alerted him to the clamp.

Moments later he stopped the car and got out, before abandoning it and walking off across the road.

Black cab driver Sean Day filmed the incident and shared it on YouTube yesterday, labelling the clip an "Uber achievement".
