At the time of the offence where was the car?

[Gabito]

The car was parked at my friends front house which is rented by her mother and all neighbors park there. So its a matter of house blocks and anyone living there can park there.

Is this private or public road/car park?

[Gabito]

This is a Public car park for residents only

Then it is valid, you are not able to park a SORN vehicle on the public road, https://www.gov.uk/government/upload...tification.pdf please see point 3.

Thanks a lot for your info

Even privately owned car parks (e,g Shopping centre or pub car parks) are treated as public if the public have access to them,
