Wrong.

"Taking and driving away" ( TDA ) was always a separate offence, since it 
got invented.

Imagine: You hire a car, but don't return it.

Theft, right?

Wrong. This is a Civil Debt ( failure to pay a rightful debt for service 
obtained, so long as you use your real drivers licence. )

If you use a false D/L it's obtaining services by deception.

And in case you're interested I could bore the a**e off you with a long 
story about an ex Green Beret who did just that.

Guess who the arresting Officer was?  ;-)
