0 an occasion when someone drives fast and dangerously for pleasure, especially in a stolen vehicle:
1 an act of driving around for enjoyment in a car, esp. one that was taken without permission and is driven in a dangerous manner
A teenager was stopped in a car on a joyride after stealing her mum's car keys.
She took her sister's motorbike for a joyride.
They stole the car and decided to take a joyride on the beach.
Visits abroad can be taken by the public at large to be perks and a joyride.
I welcome also the suggestion that joyriding is to be made an offence.
For example, they may find it exciting when under the influence of alcohol to take a car for the purpose of joyriding.
I am not talking about the youths who wilfully steal a car and go joyriding.
Some abandoned cars are the consequence of joyriding and are torched to remove the evidence of who was involved in the theft.
