Another parking fine question
Discussion
Driving along a fairly quite road today, and phone rings with an urgent call, so i pull up to answer and left engine running.
I did notice the double yellow lines but as i wasnt causing an obstruction i ignored them
Parked for no longer than 5 mins, when Mr Grumpy turns up and starts writing the ticket. I of course put phone down and drove off.
My question is will i recieve a fine as the ticket didnt quite make the screen?

I was told "I've already started writing it, can't cancel it now" in which case you may get it through the post but it could have been a case of if I stand here and pretend to write a ticket he'll move on quickly....I did notice the double yellow lines but as i wasnt causing an obstruction i ignored them

Depends where this happened. A lot of places have decriminalised parking enforcement (e.g. London) and PCNs have to be attached to the vehicle or handed to the driver to be valid. Exceptions are tickets issued as a result of CCTV observation, and when the attendant was prevented from issuing the ticket (e.g. physical intimidation etc.). Driving away is fine (doesn't count as preventing them issuing the ticket) and you should receive nothing in the post. (parking attendants do have a habit of lying and saying they attached the ticket but no problem appealing if they do this).
Police traffic wardens etc. do not need to attach to vehicles or hand to drivers.
Decriminalised situation is set to change next year I think which is going to be a nightmare.
