Quick parking ticket question.

[DogsBody]

I don't think this ticket will stand but if someone could give me an opinion it would be appreciated.

I parked on zig-zags next to a pelican crossing, walked 30 seconds to a shop, came out 3 or 4 mins later and the warden was about 10 paces in front of me.
As I went to get in my car he says you have a ticket, and if you drive off it will come through the post to you.

NO ticket was placed on my car nor did he take any pictures, my understanding is that if the ticket isn't on the car it doesn't stand.

please feel free to correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks

You are wrong, you shouldn't have parked there. Next.

Aware that I shouldn't have parked there, but that isn't what I asked.

lol parked on zigzags, fail. Enjoy the ticket and count yourself lucky a cop didn't find you as (afaik) they can issue 3 points and a fine as parking on zig zags is normally a dangerous obstruction under The Zebra, Pelican and Puffin Pedestrian Crossings Regulations and General Directions 1997 as an endorsable offence. Pay the fine and count yourself lucky that's all you're getting.

Yeh he mentioned that, I think he said 3 points and a £3000? fine ?????

Zigzags are there for a reason so what made you feel like you could park and get away with it ?

Troll tbh

so OP did you get the ticket in the post?

Yeh it came through last week, I think I am just gonna pay it in this case as the time I would spend researching how to get out of it could be better spent to be fair.

To the rest of you, yes I parked on zig-zags yes i realise this was wrong and a mistake. I am eternally sorry for my wrong doings, never shall I park on zig-zags again, consider my lesson learnt!
