Allowing yourself to be carried in a vehicle that has been taken without the owner’s consent (TWOC) can lead to criminal offences being pursued against not only the driver, but the passengers too. The Prosecution would need to prove that you knew the vehicle had been taken without authority to do so. The sentence can include up to 6 months’ imprisonment, a financial penalty and a discretionary driving disqualification under Section 12 of the Theft Act 1968.
