Sat in car and provided fine

I was sat in car and I had stopped at safe location from the busy road, due to I was lost and had to check my navigation. The parking warden walked by and looked at me while my car engine was still running while i was sorting my navigation out. The warden then walked to back of my car and was fully aware what I was doing he later filed a parking fine stating he was providing me a ticket while I driven off. Which I was unaware of him even doing any ticket as he did not come to the front of the car of asked me what can I do ?

    Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

    I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.

    Council ticket apparently.

    He needs to make his mind up what it is before he posts on PePiPoo. It can't be both issues, surely?

    This immediately gives away (possibly) who was driving and loses the ability to claim POFA protection.
    Surely you weren't checking navigation but, having read (or were still reading) the signs, you were deciding whether or not to accept the terms of parking.

    Can't get PoFA Protection - it's a council ticket. :)

    Oops, wasn't clear from the thread as OP has not returned. Still, I got in my point about poor grammar!
  • Please note these 2 parking tickets are separate incidents, me being parked with the car running and being provided with a parking fine when I had no clue of it happening and the parking warden waited for me to drive off and provide a ticket
    Do they get commission ?
