First off, I hope this is in the right Forum, sorry if its not.

Can anyone tell me wheter a parking ticket needs to actually be signed by the Traffic Warden in order for it to be valid ?

are you talking about a police traffic warden or a council parking attendant,

if it is a police warden as soon as the ticket is defaced then it is classed as a legal document, so 1 dgit of your reg could have been written you come back and drive off the ticket is still valid, not to sure about the parking attendant

As CO has stated, if the ticket is issued by a police officer then it is valid the minute he starts writing.

With regard to council parking attendants, the ticket has to be correctly completed and either affixed to the windscreen or handed to the driver before it becomes valid.
