Somewhere (can't recall where), there's a line which says "a cycle can fit down a [1/4"-wide] alley; a car can't".

As to collisions: The rules were a little vague -- not accounting for the map-space the car had to pass through in order to get to its "final position" led to some goofy situations involving dropped weapons, obstacles, walls, and such.

As the rules do not say anything about the path the vehicle takes to it's final position you can assume the path is irrelevant and only consider the final position.

In my "_CW_ Repaired" notes: I have longer-than-1" vehicles being "steered" from the *rearmost* 1" of the counter; it's a tad less goofy than "the Tail Of Doom" one gets with using the foremost 1".

Do. Not. Get. Me. Started. (When one has in one's group a player known as "The Weasel", well, you figure it out....)
