 From the Big Black Book of Sleaze:


VBM sleaze

The act of ending a vehicle's movement phase in VBM (usually staying in 
motion) to prevent the enemy units in that hex from firing out of the hex. 
Also called VBM freeze. A7.212 says that if an enemy unit [EXC: unarmored 
vehicles without PRC] is in the same Location as you are, you cannot fire 
at any enemy unit not in your Location. The VBM sleaze's usual aim is to 
place AFVs in bypass of defensive locations to prevent those locations from 
firing at units moving up behind the AFV. A vehicle ending its MPh in 
bypass also strips the concealment of any units in that location (A12.42).
