I seem to remember Ron trying to rationalize it by saying that they 
were allowed to use magic under extreme circumstances. Or, if he 
didn't, it would have been a good argument. Of course, there were 
much better ways of dealing with the situation, but taking the car 
sounded like a good idea at the time.
