Difficulty: EasyVehicle Excise Duty and SORN

A vehicle that has an active Statutory Off-Road Notification (SORN) is legally permitted to be parked on a public road, provided it is stationary and not being driven.

Answer: Answer

Answer

False
The correct answer is False. A Statutory Off-Road Notification (SORN) requires the vehicle to be kept off the public highway entirely, such as in a garage, on a driveway, or on private land. Leaving or parking a SORN vehicle on a public road is illegal.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the legal conditions and scope of a Statutory Off-Road Notification (SORN).
A SORN informs the DVLA that the vehicle is untaxed and will be kept entirely off the public road network.
Vehicle Excise Duty rules govern where untaxed vehicles may be kept.
2
Evaluate whether stationary parking on a public road is allowed for a SORN vehicle.
Parking on a public highway requires valid vehicle tax and insurance, regardless of whether the vehicle is moving or parked.
The definition of off-road under SORN excludes all public highways, kerbsides, and council-maintained parking spaces.
3
Determine whether the given statement is true or false.
The statement is false because SORN vehicles cannot be parked on public roads.
