Car not taxed and not insured question

freelancepuddle

Can a car that is not taxed and not insured be parked on a residential street? (not a main road or a street cars drive on, an area just outside a set of driveways outside people's houses). What are the rules on this as GOV.UK isn't straight forward.

Can it be parked there, yes.

Should it be parked there, no.

A car either needs to be taxed&insured or SORNed.

To be SORNed it needs to be parked off the (public) road. If the area is privately owned then that should be fine.

On public highway- illegal.

On private land - legal if SORNed.

On private land - illegal if not SORNed.
