wheel clamp
Parking enforcement tool
A wheel clamp is a metal device locked onto a vehicle's wheel to immobilize it, typically used by authorities to enforce parking regulations or unpaid fines.
The vehicle cannot be driven until the clamp is removed, usually after paying a fee: I came back to find a wheel clamp on my car.
Called a boot in American English.
