As usual we see the extremist point of view. The OP was about a car being impounded after being driven by a mechanic and how any reasonable person could make that the fault of the owner is beyond me.

The issue of whether to charge a friend / relative with theft if they have your car without consent is a different discussion altogether and one of the reasons that magistrates have discretionary powers in these cases (at least currently).
