A quick definition of joyriding:

Term: Joyriding

Definition: Joyriding is when someone takes a car without the owner's permission, but they don't plan to keep it forever. It's against the law and also called Unlawful Driving Away of an Automobile (UDAA) or Unauthorized Use of a Vehicle. For example, in Michigan, if someone takes a car without permission but doesn't plan to steal it, they could go to jail for up to two years or have to pay a fine of up to $1,500. In Tennessee, it's a Class A misdemeanor to take someone else's vehicle without permission if you don't plan to keep it.

A more thorough explanation:

Joyriding is when someone takes a car without the owner's permission, but they don't plan to keep it forever. It's against the law and is also called Unlawful Driving Away of an Automobile (UDAA) or Unauthorized Use of a Vehicle.

For example, in Michigan, if someone takes a car without permission but doesn't plan to steal it, they could be punished with up to 2 years in jail or a fine of up to $1,500. In Tennessee, taking someone else's vehicle without permission is a Class A misdemeanor.

These examples show that joyriding is a serious crime that can result in punishment. Even if someone doesn't plan to keep the car forever, it's still wrong to take it without permission.
