might be declared as sorn, although if you have reported them through DVLA will say if they have been. And yes police still have to pay tax on their own cars.

Whether they are sorn or not, if they are not being used on the road, does it matter?

A car off the road blocking a garage is the same as a pile of rubbish blocking a garage?

So, there's people (with a child) living in a garage and you are more concerned about an un-taxed/un-sorned car - nice priorities.

Do the vehicles ever move phil or are they just sitting there rotting away?

Well my view is I don't give a stuff about the un-taxed/un-sorned car - just amazed that you are so matter of fact about a family living in a garage.

Owners of cars that are not taxed or SORNed are automatically fined..

The DVLA do not know or care about the occupation of the owners.

I suspect you do not know the full facts.
