 JOY RIDING IS NO JOKE!  





Each week in Florida, hundreds of teenagers risk their futures and their lives by stealing cars or accepting rides in stolen cars.........'joy riding'

 

JOY RIDING IS THEFT: Some of the consequences involved in auto theft are: lost employment opportunities because of a criminal record, imprisonment, loss of respect of family, teachers and friends. Risk of serious injury and death to others and to yourself.

WHO GETS HURT: The owner of the stolen vehicle is caused hardship including: loss of employment while car is stolen, cost of any repairs not covered by insurance, higher insurance costs, feeling of victimization.

THINK first before you get into that car, find out who owns it. If you think it's stolen, remember:
  • Joy Riding is a criminal offense
  • Joy Riding can seriously damage your life
  • Joy Riding is for losers
