    Question: Who gets in trouble for Joyriding, the driver or the car owner?

    Answer: Potentially both! Here's why: the driver will always get in trouble for joyriding, but in some situations the owner of the car could get in trouble as well.

    If the owner of a car allows someone else to drive their vehicle when they know they shouldn't, they could be liable for something called 'negligent entrustment' - meaning that they lent their car to someone that they knew they shouldn't have.

    There are many situations in the law where more than one person can get in trouble for a single act and this is one of them.

    well, you know when someone goes on a "Joy Ride," a lot of the times, the driver doesn't even know about it. This also includes when the car is stolen simply for "Joy Riding."
