If it is like any other system having a greater than certain chance offsets the negative modifiers.

Say you have Drive MPV (100%), your PC is a driving phenom raised on go carts and dirt track racing before professionally driving commercial vehicles.

So in any given day he doesn't have any trouble driving city streets or highways.

Still it is uncommon for a task to not have any negative modifiers. So driving a truck meant for paved roads off off road has penalties. soil conditions, weather, vehicles mechanical state, undergrowth, etc.

A PC with a greater than 100% chance has more skill to overcome negative modifiers. Should be a long time before a PC gets even close and I don't think the rules allow for such exceptional skills early or at generation.
