Is joyriding considered an indictable offence?

  1. True

  2. False

  3. Depends on the jurisdiction

  4. Only if property is damaged

The correct answer is: False

Joyriding, also referred to as grand theft auto or joyriding-theft, is the act of taking a vehicle without the owner's consent and using it for a short period of time for the purpose of excitement or thrill. This is considered a serious criminal offence and is not limited to damaging property. Therefore, the correct answer is B False, as joyriding is indeed considered an indictable offence regardless of whether property is damaged. Option A is incorrect as joyriding is not limited to being an indictable offence. Option C is incorrect as the severity of the offence may vary depending on the jurisdiction. Option D is incorrect as joyriding is not limited to damaging property.
