You stopped on a yellow line and he started taking your details. If you had stayed he would have given you a ticket. You didn't stay and therefore didn't get a tickey. What's the problem? If someone had stopped on a yellow with the intention of staying the traffic warden taking the details would act as a deterant. I'm no fan of the traffic wardens when they overstep the mark but in the case you mention?

You can park on the other side of the road free of charge for 20 minutes.

I thought you said you live in Coopers Court - why on earth would you need to drive into town to pop into shops?

If the warden finished the process on their machine, and managed to get a photo, you may get a fine in the post anyway.

No. I think they have to actually put the ticket on the car. there are plans to change this in the future though.

In St Andrew Street, they start putting details into their machines whilst watching you walk to get the pay-and-display ticket. Talk about keen.
