Vehicles errata

OK, CT Errata says:

Page 22, Vehicle Skill (clarification and addition): Change the second and third sentences of the explanation to read, “The groups available are: Aircraft (select Helicopter, Propeller-driven Fixed Wing, or Jet-driven Fixed Wing), Grav Vehicle, Tracked Vehicle, Wheeled Vehicle, and Watercraft (select Small Watercraft, Large Watercraft, Hovercraft, or Submersible). In the case of Aircraft and Watercraft, other similar vehicles within the group may be operated by the individual at skill level minus 1.”

So, the original text is:

The individual immediately selects one vehicle from one of the following groups and gains one level of skill in that specific type. The groups available are: ground car, watercraft, winged craft (including helicopters), hovercraft, and grav belt. Individual vehicles within a class may be found in Book 3, beginning on page 20. In the case of ground car, winged craft, and watercraft, other similar vehicles may be operated by the individual at skill level minus 1 (the ground car class includes ATVs). Vehicle skill is used for operation and as a DM against accident, and may also be used for assistance in repairing and maintaining a vehicle.

So, does that mean the new paragraph should read:

The individual immediately selects one vehicle from one of the following groups and gains one level of skill in that specific type. The groups available are: Aircraft (select Helicopter, Propeller-driven Fixed Wing, or Jet-driven Fixed Wing), Grav Vehicle, Tracked Vehicle, Wheeled Vehicle, and Watercraft (select Small Watercraft, Large Watercraft, Hovercraft, or Submersible). In the case of Aircraft and Watercraft, other similar vehicles within the group may be operated by the individual at skill level minus 1. Vehicle skill is used for operation and as a DM against accident, and may also be used for assistance in repairing and maintaining a vehicle.

So, do ground cars no longer get a −1 for similar vehicles? And do we longer need the reference to Page 20?

I'm looking at this again, and I'm wondering if instead of replacing sentence 2 and 3, it should be 2 and 4, and read like this:

The individual immediately selects one vehicle from one of the following groups and gains one level of skill in that specific type. The groups available are: Aircraft (select Helicopter, Propeller-driven Fixed Wing, or Jet-driven Fixed Wing), Grav Vehicle, Tracked Vehicle, Wheeled Vehicle, and Watercraft (select Small Watercraft, Large Watercraft, Hovercraft, or Submersible). Individual vehicles within a class may be found in Book 3, beginning on page 20. In the case of Aircraft and Watercraft, other similar vehicles within the group may be operated by the individual at skill level minus 1. Vehicle skill is used for operation and as a DM against accident, and may also be used for assistance in repairing and maintaining a vehicle.

I just want to confirm that you no longer get the −1 penalty if you know one wheeled vehicle and try to operate another one, but instead take the full penalty.
