has the law regarding traffic wardens changed?
i was about to be done today nipping into my folks for a stapler when i spotted him taking an interest in my car so i dashed out and i ignored him and jumped in and drove off (was on dbl yellows)
i parked legally on private land and walked back up to my folks. He approached me and said not to worry as he wasnt going to issue a ticket but wanted to warn me.
He then went on to contradict himself and said that the time on his device to issue the ticket had expired (he had to wait a set amount of time before issuing it) prior to me walking towards him so he couldnt give me a ticket anymore.
He said that me driving off to avoid a ticket was illegal, and they could still issue the ticket without giving it me or placing it on the car.
The warden was a council warden (actually previously council warden now taken over by a third party company contracting back to the council).
so has there been a change to the law?
Is it illegal to leg it to prevent a ticket being issued? if so, what do they do you for?
Can traffic wardens still enforce a ticket if they dont give it to you/place it on vehicle?
