Legal Terms - Aggravated Vehicle Taking
The offence of joyriding, sometimes known as aggravated vehicle taking, was established by the Aggravated Vehicle Taking Act of 1992 and added to the Theft Act of 1968 (section 12A). The offense occurs when a motor vehicle that has been unlawfully appropriated is operated in a hazardous manner on a public road, resulting in an accident that causes harm to another individual, damage to property, or damage to the vehicle itself. Any anyone who either (i) appropriated the vehicle or (ii) operated or occupied it with the awareness that it was stolen without the owner's consent may be held accountable for the offense.
