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.

Enable the "Invincibility" cheat. If you are in a van or a slow vehicle and the police are too fast, turn around and head straight into them. Try to crash them. If done correctly, your map will go white and you will be free.

Steal a fire truck and the police will not chase you. If you hit any poles, cars, or anything he will chase you.

If you are in a slow car, try to find a hidden driveway . If you hide in it , the cops cannot find you and they should eventually crash and wreck.

You can avoid police chases by acting normal, and not doing anything you should not.

Hint: Destroying police cars:
In take a ride mode in any city, when being chased by cops move very close to a pole, tree, or another car. The pole works the best. The cops will most likely hit them, especially if they are close behind you. They seem to veer off to the right slightly. Once they smack into something and you keep going, most likely they will lose you. If not, repeat the trick. If done correctly, press R2 + L2 to look behind you to see the cops crash into the object. Practice is required for this trick. Also enable the "Invincibility" cheat to make it easier.

Hint: Bootleg move:

Hint: Get a lot of air:
When you are being chased by the police and you hit any kind of jump, look behind you. Wait directly on top of the police car's shadow. When he lands on you, he will go flying and you will be shuffled to the side. You can do the same trick onto parked cars, but you have to bail out of your car or else you will just hit them.

Hint: Cop destroys your car while you are outside:
Enable the "Invincibility" cheat, and get chased by a cop until they make a road block. Do not hit any cop cars in the road block. Destroy the cop car that was chasing you earlier. Your map will flash white, meaning you are not being chased any more. Go up to one of the cop cars in the road block and tap it lightly, then immediately get out of your car. The cop will keep on hitting the car you were in, even though you exited. This may not always work, but may be repeated as many times as needed.

Sometimes the police car will chase you everywhere instead of focusing on your car.

Hint: Scared police:
Note: This trick works best in Chicago. Choose any car, with no cheats enabled. After getting chased by the cops, and once their cars are dead, get out of the car and walk towards the roadblock (if available) before the other cops see you. All of the police will be out of their cars, and will be kneeling down pointing their guns. Walk past the row of cops and look behind you to see that they are now pointing their guns straight at you. If you get too close, they will run away.

Hint: Electric car:
The electric car is blue with a buckskin convertible top.

Hint: No moving cars:
Collect almost every car that can be chosen at the car selection screen. Find a place to put these cars, such as the police station in Rio and the garage in Vegas. When the cars are in a safe place, do not go too far or they will disappear. Once you have collected most of the cars, all of the cars that were driving in the streets will be gone. Also, if you steal a police car, no police will drive in the streets. If you want the cars back, just walk or drive far away from the stolen cars.

Hint: Vibrating car:
Crash a car into a building or object. Then get into another car, hold Brake and look at the car you just crashed (at a certain spot). If done correctly, the car will start to vibrate.

Hint: Rolling hub caps:
Drive fast and take a sharp turn while braking. You may see a hub cap fall off and start rolling.

Hint: Matrix-type replay:
Select any mode and fly off any ramp or object before the "Out Of Tape" message at the bottom of the screen. Select "End mission" and then go to "Camera Director". Go to the scene where you jumped off and pause it in mid-air. Choose the "Rotate camera" option and rotate the camera. Rotate it slightly horizontally then play the scene for one second. Keep doing that until you hit the ground. Rewind to the beginning and watch your Matrix-type scene.
