No person shall drive a vehicle, not his own, without consent of the owner thereof, and with intent temporarily to deprive such owner of his possession of such vehicle, without intent to steal the same. 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. No person shall assist in, or be a party or accessory to or an accomplice in any such unauthorized taking or driving.
