Sit-in driver claims clamping victory

A driver has claimed a victory for beleaguered motorists after holding a 30-hour vigil in his clamped car until a fine of almost £4,000 (€4,800) was withdrawn.

Haroon Zafaryab, 27, emerged from prayers at his local mosque in north London last Wednesday to find his Toyota Prius had been immobilised after he failed to spot a private property sign.
