Hint: 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.

If you are playing the Getaway game, drive at top speed on a long straight and do not crash. You will almost always get away.

Hint: Driving on the sidewalks:
You can drive on the sidewalks regardless of what the manual states. Just drive slowly and do not hit any signs, cars, or other objects.

Hint: Flip your car:
To make your car do a flip, find a cop car on its side. Get some distance and ram into the bottom part of the car. If done correctly, your car will flip very high in the air.

Hint: Higher speed:
Begin game play and find a long straightaway. Accelerate until your car is over 100 mph. Release the accelerator (and burn out if in use). Hold the cruise control key to keep speeding up.

Hint: Avoid police chases:
Drive like you are one of the city cars and the police will not follow you unless you hit a car or building.
