To joyride is to drive around in a stolen car, boat, or other vehicle with no particular goal, a ride taken solely for pleasure or excitement.
In UK law, joyriding is not considered to be theft, because the intention to "permanently deprive" the owner of the vehicle cannot be proven. Instead, a separate offence of "taking without consent", usually known by the acronym TWOC, applies to motor vehicles. Therefore "twoccing" or "twocking" is another term for joyriding.
