A vehicle has a Driver, and Passengers.

The Driver can use their Driving Skill or relevant Stat/Skill to drive, moving the Vehicle directly along with its occupants.

Passengers can act as usual, but are constrained to the Vehicle. Penalties can be applied for actions performed at high speed or when driving on rough terrain.
