Question

Please help me by friday.

Answer 1

it has many different meaning, it can be :

a shoe carved in wood commonly used by farmers and people in holland.

a horse hoof is called a sabot too

and yes the clamp put on cars are called sabot

so a "french sabot" will probably be the shoe option

Answer 2

If you are asking what "sabot" means in French it can have different meanings depending on context but the two most common ones that come to mind are:

- a clog (low wooden shoe) : http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sabot

- a (horse's) hoof : http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sabot_%28on...

Answer 3

It's a clamp that the traffic cops put on cars that are badly parked. You have to pay a hefty fine to get them unclamped.

Oh, it's also a kind of wooden boot, sometimes used for jamming machinery (hence "sabotage"), but the first answer is the modern one.
