Is there a definition of 'driving' in there somewhere?

Not in there, but somewhere else.

Does sitting in the driving seat when the engine is running, even if
the vehicle is stationary, count as driving?

Absolutely.

I wonder how these interpretations pan out when the vehicle is a
motorhome?

I tried to dig up any specific definitions of "driving" but there
don't seem to be any in this respect. I think it is one of those
actions which the law requires to be decided on the facts in a
particular case or type of case where it is not blatantly obvious;
there are times when Joe Public's "driving" is not the law's "driving"
such as IIRC when someone is steering a traction engine but they are
not the person "driving" it.
