It would be an expensive journey and they could trace the boat registration - who hired it - and who you were even if you arrived safe.

One thing you missed out is pre 2017 cars below 100g/km (like mine) which have been paying £0 VED, mine will go up to £20 next year. Most of these will be diesels, get one that is 65, 16 or 66 reg and it will be Euro 6 and ULEZ compliant as well. Of course, you could declare your car as SORN for a couple of days in March, then renew the VED at the current rate. What happens to the first year tax if the car is sold on after 6 months? Can the seller claim back a refund of any part of it, and does the new owner have to pay any of it?

It was luck of the draw it seems.
