There is a network of small lanes in most places in the UK.
Easy to circumvent any particular spot for a local person.
ie cameras.

My Dad used the same principle when he stuck windows in an Anglia van
circa 1960 which potentially made it liable for purchase tax or
something like that. Meant we never took that vehicle to town
in case it was spotted or had a prang.


Being thick again!
I have no need to do such thing at the moment as there is no tax to pay and in any case there is no such taxation system run by cameras.

No one is claiming that you have to pay tax at the moment ,and the
suggestion for the future was for road pricing for using distance
driven along roads , perfectly feasible to have that and still have a
charge fixed charge for vehicles annually which at the moment is
commonly known as Road tax and which varies from Zero to quite a lot
depending on what class the vehicle is.

But if there were, it would be easy to evade it.
And no-one could ever prove you had deliberately evaded it.


Your naivety of how authorities if they really want to can observe
things shows how you are from another much simpler era much like those
old geezers who robbed the vault in Hatton Garden.

But as we are talking about what may happen in the future it is
understandable that you keep arguing based on the one hook that you
don't pay road tax in the present. At your age you will not see that
future so to think about it too much must be depressing.
