Lesson Overview

10.02 – Joyriding with Friends: Borrowing a car for fun might seem like harmless adventure, but joyriding can lead to arrest, injury, or worse. Even if you don’t mean harm, it’s still considered vehicle theft when you take a car without permission. Police often treat joyrides like stolen-car cases because they can’t know your intentions. Speeding, losing control, or getting caught makes things spiral fast. Friends may hype you up to do it, but they won’t share your legal consequences. Courts can label it a felony, meaning it follows you into adult life. The car owner might press charges or demand money for damages. Your parents or guardians can also be held financially responsible for your choices. What felt like “just a drive” could change your record, your trust, and your reputation. Real confidence comes from saying no before small dares turn into real crimes.
