Hi All, Bit of a strange one. I received a court summons today from the DVLA stating that I was accused of parking a SORN Vehicle on a Public Road which they state contravenes Section 29(3A) of the Vehicle Excise and Registration Act 1994 (VERA). I have checked with my council and the road is maintainable at the residents (i.e. my) expense. Within Section 62 of the Vehicle Excise and Registration Act 1994 a public road is defined as: “public road”— (a) in England and Wales and Northern Ireland, means a road which is repairable at the public expense, and What am I missing here? Surely the DVLA aren't going to drag me into court over this without checking up on the status of the road?! I have seen other posts referring to 'Public Highway' on SORN vehicles. If I am accused of contravening VERA then surely it's definition of 'Public Road' supersedes any other. Any help would be appreciated.
