SORN and Public Road
Discussion
Whats the definition of a public road when it comes to SORN?
For example a local road is unadopted and joins the public highway at a 45 degree angle, with a cuthrough that also joins the public highway creating a right angle triange. So effectively the public highway creates the base of the triangle about 15 m long, the cut throughthe upright of the triangle about 20m long and the unadopted road the diagonal and it continues on beyond the triangle.
Someone has parked a car in the cut through and it has had a SORN declaration on it. Is the peice of land it is on likely to be a public road? I personally have driven regularly over the piece of land in question over the last 5 years, only being stopped from doing so if there has been a car parked in it.

Why do you care? Is the car ruining the view from your twitchy net curtains?
Why? Because if you want to come out the road and turn left its extremely difficult as you are turning 315 degrees from a single track road, you therefore need the full width of the carriageway on the public highway you are turning on to, however as you are on the right of your car doing the turn you cant see the traffic coming from the left. This wouldnt be such an issue if it wasnt for the fact that its often on the wrong side of the road due to parked cars. Those same parked cars make it difficult to do the turn.Going up the snicket means its a much easier but steeper 90 degree turn.
Cant see the car from the net curtains if I had any.
