Hi All.

Does anyone know the deal for what happens if I came out of a shop
today in Belsize Village (Lon B of Camden) to find a traffic warden
in the process of writing a ticket, but who was unable to give it to
me before I drove off. I believe that to be valid they have to give
it to you, or stick it on the car, but if I were him I'd just lob it
on the floor after I went, and then say he put it on the car etc.

Interested to hear any advice. Googling was inconclusive... hoping
the esteemed members of uk.t.l can do better :-)

The way it works here is if they wrote down your Vehicle Id Number or
license plate number, the VEHICLE has been ticketed. It just goes into
the computer and bingo your vehicle is 'listed'!

And where is "here"? Since you're posting from a PST time zone, your
advice may not be relevant to London.

AFAIK, in the UK the penalty charge notice must be attached to the vehicle
or handed to the driver.
