Video: Homer Simpson would be proud of this clamped BMW driver

The police, on the other hand, probably want a word...

After attending an audition in Boston recently, this BMW returned to her X5 to find that it had been clamped, but instead of paying the fine she took the Homer Simpson approach to clamp removal.

Yep, that’s right, the driver simply drove off with the clamp still attached. She didn’t bother using a jackhammer either.

The driver was recorded reversing out of the parking spot and after putting the car in drive and moving a few meters, the clamp falls off to the approval of the crowd… but not the parking attendant.

While we’re sure the driver felt great about getting one over on parking attendant, we wager a bet that the cost of fixing the damage done to the car probably outweighs the price of the ticket.
