A wheel clamp, also known as wheel boot, parking boot, or Denver boot,〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Merriam-Webster Dictionary )〕 is a device that is designed to prevent vehicles from being moved. In its most common form, it consists of a clamp that surrounds a vehicle wheel, designed to prevent removal of both itself and the wheel. In the United States, these devices became known as a "Denver boot" after the city of Denver, Colorado was the first in the country to employ them, mostly to force the payment of outstanding parking tickets. ==Functions== Wheel clamps have four main functions: * To crack down on unauthorised or illegal parking, in lieu of towing the offending vehicle; in these cases, police or property owners who place the clamp may charge a high "release fee" to remove it * For security purposes, such as preventing a car, trailer, or caravan from being driven or towed away by a thief * To preclude escape of a prosecuted person * To prevent driving by a suspended driver or moving of a disabled vehicle 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「wheel clamp」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
