Can I park my car on the public road when it is SORN?
Is there a restriction to where you can store your car after a SORN declaration? For example does it have to be on private property like driveway or garage or can it be parked on public street if my house doesn't have driveway or garage?

If your car is declared SORN it must be kept off the public road. It is illegal to drive or park a SORNed vehicle on the road, unless you are taking it to a pre-booked MoT test.
