Even if you go to the options and unbind every instance of the arrow keys, pressing an arrow key will still give movement orders to the driver when as a vehicle commander. This might clash with people's specific control schemes and seems weird overall that there is no way to actually unbind vehicle movement orders from the arrowkeys.
I like to use the arrowkeys to turn vehicle turrets, because it's faster and easier than rotating the turret with your mouse due to the capped rotation speed.
