Aggravated Vehicle-Taking Act 1992
United Kingdom legislation
- Theft Act 1968
- Road Traffic Offenders Act 1988
The Aggravated Vehicle-Taking Act 1992 is an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. It amends the Theft Act 1968 by creating the specific offence of aggravated vehicle-taking, which combines the taking of a vehicle without the owner's consent with driving it dangerously, causing injury, or causing damage to the vehicle or other property. It carries a mandatory disqualification from driving.
The Act was brought in to tackle the problem of joyriding, which was at the time a widespread problem in the UK.[3] It was subject to a fast-track passage through Parliament.[4]
