Easy getaway:

When you are wanted and you see a cop in front of
you, drive up behind him. He will see you in his
rear-view mirror and turn around to try to get you. If timed correctly, you can try to get the cop to crash into a tree or obstacle to get a great opportunity to get away.

complete the Training mission:

Make a copy of the file DRIVER\DATA\MLADDER.DML first!

Edit the DRIVER\DATA\MLADDER.DML file in Notepad or a similar text editor. Remove the two lines:

INTERVIEW
QUITONFAIL

Save the file, then you can start Driver and go straight to the missions!!

GameTip:

An easy way too get a head start on a cop chace
is when you come up behind a cop he can see you
from his mirror and when he see you doing something wrong he will turn around like a U turn to try to catch you, so when you come up behind a cop look for a tree or pool and then do a vilation on the side the pool or tree is on so when he turns to get you he will crash into it.

Game Hints

Whenever possible, drive on the sidewalks. It'll
keep the cops off you, and you won't have to worry about oncoming traffic.

When driving in San Francisco, use the cable cars to lose the cops; they'll often slam into each other.

Keep an eye out for alleys and parking garages--these are great places to lose the police.

Disabling the Lose The Tail will enable "prowling" cops. Set the number of cops you wish to have chasing you by changing the number in the line "SetMaximumCops 1" (I find three is a pretty good number), or disable cops by changing "Cops_on" to "Cops_off".

You can also add the line: "CopWipeOutDamage 7000" to set the amount of damage it takes to destroy a Cop Cruiser (If this line is not present, it takes about one solid head-on crash to destroy a cop).

Place a "trigger cop":

Allows you to drive freely without -any- cop intervention until activated. To enable this, do -not- delete the line:

"AddCivCar 9,0,1,0,3067, 45609, 441019"

This will cause an unactive police cruiser to be placed directly behind your starting position, who will remaininactive unless provoked, thereby activating -all- of the cops.

Reach 204mph:

First of all select the Jaguar (Car type 16).

Start game as normal, find a nice long road, build up speed to around 100-110mph.

Release the accelrator (And Burn Out if you're using it).

Hold down the cruise control key (C I think is the default).

Instead of slowing down to cruise speed (30-40mph), your car will carry on speeding up, past its usual 178mph or so, we hit 204mph, but we ran out of road (Ouch that wall hurt), maybe you can get more out of it!

Choose Cities:

This is kinda what you do for the skip traing mission. You do the same thing except you click at the very top where it says [MIAMI] all you have to do is delete miami and put in [SF] or [NY] and you can drive around in New York or San Francisco its pretty cool try it

Choose Your Car:

Finish the game once and get to choose your car
when you take a ride
