There is no road tax except only one road so far...

Ah! Yes, there are a couple of roads and bridges where you have to pay extra to use them here as well - forgot those!

Fuel is taxed but the fuel prices regulated by government to ensure not all the tax fails on us.

Same thing here, except the price isn't regulated, to ensure that as much tax as possible lands on our heads.

how it's possible to forgot that your test or insurance run out

The insurance companies send you a reminder about two weeks before it expires and will automatically renew it if you don;t respond (normally at a much higher rate than last year).
The company doing the testing can't send you a reminder because they don't have anything to ID you except the car registration number, and there is no (legal) way to get your name or address from that alone.
The government doesn't send you a reminder (despite having all the information it needs) because that way it can fine you (more tax!) if you forget.
