Peter Hicks, 40, a farmer form Sussex rigged up an electric device on his land rover.  A Police Officer heard a strange ticking noise coming from the car, and received a nasty shock when he touched it.  A sergeant also jumped when he came to see what shocked the constable and sparks flew when an inspector turned up to give his opinion on the situation.

 “Until someone tells me what law I am breaking I shall keep up my private war” said Mr Hicks

Mr Hicks, who sells his produce in London's Covent Garden market, had attached a mechanism normally used to electrify fences to his car as part of a private war against traffic wardens.

It gives out a shock of about 2,000 volts but Mr Hicks insisted the amperage is low, rendering the device "harmless, apart from a bit of a flash and a nasty jog".

Mr Hicks already pays £30 a week in fines for parking his 50 lorries and his Land Rover was getting tickets almost every day.

Four weeks ago he electrified his car initially as an anti-theft device.

He has not had a parking ticket since he made sure all his lorries were electrified by being parked bumper to bumper behind his Land Rover.

"I've watched quite a few wardens cop it, trying to put a ticket on my truck. They gave up in disgust - and shock!" he said.

Stan should remind you that this happened today – in 1963.

  

So if you need to rent a van or hire a car without any shocks - just phone Stan- he can help.
