Vehicles and Difficult terrain

I have always been disturbed by the difficult terrain rule for vehicles.
basically you roll a 1 and then you are immobilized AND you take an hull point.
In Italy we say "Cornuto e mazziato"
(meaning: your wife cheats on you and you get beaten by her lover too. Maximum scorn for you, bro.)

To adress this, we came out with two solutions:
1) If you roll 1 on the difficult terrain test, you simply get Immobilized
2) If you roll 1 on the difficult terrain test, you may choose to become immobilized OR to lose 1 Hull Point and stop your movement and considering the vehicle as moved at full speed for this turn.

Until now, we extensively playtested option 1), and we decided that it has a minor impact on the game.
What do you think abot option 2?

EDIT___________________________________________________________________________
My group is going to apply rule 2)
"If you roll 1 on the difficult terrain test, you may choose to become immobilized OR to lose 1 Hull Point and stop your movement and considering the vehicle as moved at full speed for this turn."

Hi Nordicus :)
The option is there actually only to save vehicles with 1HP remaining, that would be wrecked by a bump on the road :laugh:
"Uhm boss, we have a situation...."
"You should have sent a Christmas card to the Enginseer last year, i told you so!"
Nevermind, i take it as a sign of (heresy, but also) you guys generally liking the second option :laugh:
Edited first post with rule n°2 taken as standard in our group.
"Embicile! I've got this! Let me just...." *puff* *mistcloud of blood*
LOL! This happens too much at my table too :laugh:
Becomes an interjected clause, "to add insult to injury"
lol kreuger, thanks! :good:
thanks @alt-f4
yesterday we had a game where we discussed the option to modify in a similar fashion the dangerous terrain test for bikes and cavalry. A unit of nurgle bikers lost 3 of its numbers after crossing a barricade and then starded fleeing...turn 1. That was hilarious but also fucking stupid. They can take an assault cannon round in the chest (Toughness 6) but will just die if fell from the bike....we laughed loathsome laughs! :)
Not knocking the house rule here, just thought it was funny we went the exact opposite way
that's because we will NEVER be happy with the current rules set!
