Keep moving and break the line
Police pursuits are a core activity and can increase cash rewards as more officers join. Footage shows wanted stars rising during a chase, but the displayed ceiling and payout rules may change. Keep the scooter moving once officers engage.
Straight roads let police close the gap. Turns, diagonals and changes of direction are shown as more useful escapes. Higher police difficulty is reported to increase rewards and collisions, so try it only after learning the map and handling.
