(a) No person shall drive a vehicle, not his or her own, without consent of the owner thereof, and with intent temporarily to deprive such owner of his or her possession of such vehicle, but without intent to steal the vehicle. The consent of the owner of a vehicle to its taking or driving shall not in any case be presumed or implied because of such owner’s consent on a previous occasion to the taking or driving of such vehicle by the same or a different person. Any person who assists in, or is a party or accessory to or an accomplice in any such unauthorized taking or driving, shall also be guilty of a violation of this section.
