I hope he does charge you as you parked in a disabled space there are dogs like you shame the eldery and disabled, I hope you get the heaviest fine that is ever produced. |

OooooOOOOoooh yes! there is no escaping! you might also find that not stopping when they ask you to is some kind of (expensive) offence in itself... >_< |

Yeah you can still get in trouble for that. In fact, you'll be in even more trouble for driving off. Chances are he's got your license plate number and will be in touch soon. Good luck with that. |

No No No!!!! All this media hype about one word against the other is, well, media hype. A traffic warden does not need to speak to you personally to issue a ticket/summons you to court, does not need a photo of your parking, etc. All the traffic warden needs is enough information to identify your vehicle, and subsequently the registered keeper/driver.
What was a simple parking ticket could now turn into an offence of failing to stop, which could result in your arrest!
Well done - was it worth it? |

I would guess that you are going to be in big trouble. He probably got your license number, and you may receive a subpoena |

you'll get done for it, in the uk its an offence to not give the details of the driver to the chief constable, the traffic warden is an agent operating on behalf of him (in the eyes of the law), so you should end up gettin done for the parking ticket and the drivin away.
When you do eventually recieve your summons i'dsuggest paying the fixed fine (my opinion) as it can be costly to get a solicitor as you cannot get legal aid for minor motoring offences such as this. |

In the UK? Yes, you can still be done for it. There is no requirement to place the ticket on the car, and no requirement to speak to you. You've been witnessed comitting an offence, and the owner of the car is liable to pay a fine for doing so. This also may depend on a few things. Did he actually get your regsitration number written down? Did he write it down correctly? Was he a genuine traffic warden (ie Police employed), or was he a parking attendant (council employed). They may have different rules from the Police employed ones. The above answer is relating to the old "yellow peril" Police employed traffic wardens. Hope this helps. |

If he did what I assume would have come naturally, he wrote down your license plate first. He was probably going to ask you for your license or details there of to finish the ticket. Since you drove off he's probably going to have to go back to the precinct and look you up on the computer....AND ATTACH A HEFTY FINE.....Better get one of those traffic attorneys numbers out. |

Well....if he got any information on you which i'm assuming that he did - then you're going to get in alot more trouble than just a ticket.... |

Sorry to say this but by asking this question is probably admision of guilt and if he got your registration plate you're stuffed.
If he didn't and you can't be traced by this, you've got away with it but don't do it again!!:-) |

You may get away with the ticket but could be in trouble for not stopping for an officer of the law. Once you had left the parking bay he cannot lawfully give you the ticket. If I've interpreted the article below correctly.
Maybe in future you will have a little more consideration and avoid disabled bays. |

If you live in the UK, I think they still have to slap it on the screen or present it to you in person. You cannot refuse to accept it once presented to you. You cannot drive at, assault or otherwise threaten him or her to stop them in their duty. It is up to them to prove your infringement. Some regions now issue digital cameras to traffic wardens, to allow gathering of "proof" and if so your stuffed! |

No, he cannot issue the ticket - how would he, you've left the scene?
Yes, if he has your registration number this may be pursued and dealt with at Magistrates' court.
You cannot simply 'get a fine in the post' without being contacted first. |

yes, that would get you into more trouble. he would probably chase you down then get you worse. |

If he got your plate # then he could send you the citation. Just because you drove away does not mean you will get off scott free thats why vehicles have plate #s |

Sounds like you can drive faster than he could run! |

If you were still in the car, you weren't actually parked, but stopped. However, you CAN be arrested for endangering the life of the traffic warden, and the ticket will probably come in the mail in a few days along with a court appearance ticket.. |

Traffic wardens and PCSO's do not have the power to stop you, if that person stepped in front of you, that is unlawful. The Law changed recently they do not have to affix the notice to the vehicle. But in the MET they do not chase you very hard, as there are enough people who will pay up. It's all about making a buck for TfL |

Believe it or not I was reading about this yesterday and the answer from a well known lawyer is that the traffic warden has to physically hand you the ticket or place it on your car to be an effective fine !!
Which is why the advice is that if you see a warden issuing you with a ticket then you can drive away and NOT be issued with a ticket providing it has not been given to you nor is attached to your car!!
Hope this helps... |

No, he has to physically place the ticket on your car - this is why they are not allowed to lurk around corners and write the tickets. I would say he opened himself up to a charge of false arrest by impeding your progress by jumping in front of you, you could make a complaint. On the other hand you were in a disabled bay so I hope you become disabled then you will have the right to use these bays and fully understand why they are needed. |

yes,expect a fine in the post if you pay it within a certain time limit it will be reduced |

NO
these days they have to take a photo of your illegal parking, because its their word against yours and it wont stand up in a court of law |

i have just had a similar experience of this i was sitting in the car when a traffic warden approched me at bus stop off point he bent down and looked in the window and held his hands out as if to ask what are u doing so i held my hands in the air and mouthed sorry and drove off he made no attempt to stop me as i sat for a while waiting to pull out.i am now worried incase it is classified as a drive off and if it is what will happen? i dont know if he took the details off the car. im hoping he didnt let me drive of knowing i would be in more trouble ? |
