Driver Strategy

  • If you are being pursued close to the end of the mission and the arrow turns to an exclamation mark with the message "Lose the Tail", try ramming the police car three or four times to disable it. If your car is too damaged for this, try stopping with a lampost or something between you and the police car.
  • Police can also be disabled by reversing into them when they are chasing you.
  • The easiest way to lose police cars is to drive through the oncoming traffic, weaving between them.
  • If there is a police car in front of you, travelling in the same direction, but you haven't been spotted yet, then either take a different route (if there is time) otherwise, drive close enough for it to spot you, but slow down when it does. Wait for it to turn one way or the other, then blast past.
  • Police cars will usually lose a game of chicken.
  • When in San Fransisco, take advantage of the tram lines. Other cars won't drive on these, so you can look at the map at little more safely. Watch out for the trams though!
  • Where ramming another car is called for, they will take the most damage if you hit them from the side. If you can T-bone them at high speed you can usually take them out in one hit.
  • Avoid causing too much carnage when you are near to a pick up point. If you have to go back the way you came, you don't really want to have to avoid 17 car pileups!
  • Cut the corners off junctions whenever possible...
