Untaxed Car

Hi all,

I've recently bought a car and I'm keeping it on a friend's drive until I get it insured.

The car isn't taxed but it's not on the road. Do I need to register it as SORN?

    It either needs to be taxed and insured or sorned. Not doing either will most likely result in an automated fine from Dvla.
