Cars are often stolen for so-called joyrides, which is dangerous because there is no insurance.
There are cases—rare enough but notorious—of teenagers stealing motor cars, driving them round, joyriding; sometimes committing violence with them but quite often not.
Those who indulge in what is described as "joyriding"— more appropriately called "deathriding"— cause enormous distress to other people.
I am thinking of the escalation of crime, especially joyriding.
In one of them a young man died in a car joyriding incident, and in this case a soldier was seriously injured by the car.
It could happen that the person who takes a car away without authority finds that he has not enough petrol to continue his joyride.
I agree with what was said about joyriding.
Four people died in the same joyriding accident.
