Question: If I drive my mom's car without her knowing and get caught what would happen?

Answer: If you mean that you have taken your mom's car without her permission, Arizona Revised Statutes 13-1803 would call this the crime of "unlawful use of means of transportation." This means the taking of a person's car without their permission, without intending to steal or keep it.

It would be just a great a crime to take your parents' car without their permission as to take any other person's car, even a complete stranger.

This crime in Arizona is a Class 5 Felony, which is punishable by up to 1 1/2 years in jail.
