| So, maybe a stupid question, but if a vehicle isn't moving, does the driver still need to make a Driving test if the vehicle receives a damage result over the toughness, but insufficient to wound? I could see the argument that a hovering helicopter is still basically "moving" it terms of it having to maintain its position, and even for a stationary boat that argument might hold. A car or a tank that's parked, though, that's not going anywhere from most things that will damage it without outright obliterating it or intending to move it. So would the penalty then apply if the vehicle began to move before the attacker's next turn, or does it just not matter for the stationary case and such vehicles are effectively Hardy when not moving? |

It's really up to the GM's call based on the specific situation, which would be pretty unique even in general terms.
As noted, a hovering helicopter is still flying, but even with automobiles there's a distinct difference between being stopped with a foot or hand on the brakes or actually parked with the vehicle out of gear. The GM might ask for the roll in the first instance because the driver's hand or foot could slip. Now, given they aren't very likely to roll over or flip, but moving 1d4 or 1d6 inches is possible.
