Am I correct in saying that if a warden is writing out a parking ticket on your car and you drive off before they can give it to you or place it on the car, then that ticket is void and you wil not be fined.

That's how I understand it yes

Don't argue with him. just give him the finger as you drive off

Depends on who is writting the ticket...

If I return to my car whilst the ticket is being issued but drive off before it can be either handed to me or fixed to the vehicle am I still liable?
This depends on who it is issuing the ticket.

If it is a council parking attendant then, to be valid, the ticket must be either handed to the driver or fixed to the vehicle. If you subsequently get a Notice to Owner you should write to the issuing council, explaining the situation, and ask for it to be cancelled. If they will not cancel it then appeal. Although the adjudication services do not categorise types of appeal anecdotal evidence suggests that between a third and a half of all appeals are for this reason.

However, if you return to find a police officer or traffic warden in the process of issuing a ticket then, if you drive off, the ticket can be sent to you as they enforce under different legislation.

In Westminster they are using camera to issue parking tickets, First you know about it is when it drops through the letter box complete with picture.

You have been warned.
