 Acceleration can be combined with any other manoeuvre action but the driver only achieves one acceleration success per two successes in their vehicle test.

 This manoeuvre involves going from full speed to stopping at a precise position (and even changing direction). Make a vehicle test with a threshold of the terrain based on the area the pilot wants to stop in (Open 0, Light 1, Restricted 2, Tight 3) – note for this test the pilot doesn’t receiver negative nice pool modifiers as well! If the pilot also wants to stop the vehicle so it is facing the opposite direction then apply a -2 dice pool modifier.
-=== <br>Chicken<br> ===
+=== Chicken<br> ===
 The ultimate in nerves! Two vehicles which are heading towards each other can play chicken. Both vehicle drivers must elect to play (otherwise this is a standard ram). Each pilot rolls a vehicle test but also adds their willpower. Who ever loses the test “blinks” first and their vehicle goes out of control. Next turn they must make a crash test unless they spend an entire action controlling the vehicle. For the next turn their speed is considered to be 0. If the opposed test is a tie then neither pilot “blinks” and they suffer a head on crash.<br>
