**On a 2 to 4 star wanted level, a sport (also a muscle or a tuner) car is a better vehicle to be used as it's speed easily outruns any police vehicles or you could go into any restaurant or anything you could go inside and lay low for a while. | **On a 2 to 4 star wanted level, a sport (also a muscle or a tuner) car is a better vehicle to be used as it's speed easily outruns any police vehicles or you could go into any restaurant or anything you could go inside and lay low for a while. | ||

**On a 6 star wanted level, a [[Rhino]] is your last hope of running away from being "Busted" since any vehicles that runs into it will simply explode (except motorbikes in GTA San Andreas, but you can be knocked off of one easily). Even Rhinos themselves are not all that durable against other Rhinos, as this vehicle can only be damaged by hitting another Rhino, or fire (making Molotov Cocktails an unlikely, but practical choice of weapon if one has good cover). | **On a 6 star wanted level, a [[Rhino]] is your last hope of running away from being "Busted" since any vehicles that runs into it will simply explode (except motorbikes in GTA San Andreas, but you can be knocked off of one easily).

**If you are skilled at driving a motorcycle, however, using a [[PCJ-600]] or, in GTA San Andreas, the [[NRG-500]] can often be the best choice as the fast bikes allow overland travel and jumping and speed that can facilitate escapes to save points or other safety areas. | |||
**It is best to avoid using the [[Angel]] or the [[Freeway]] to escape a four star wanted level or higher, as they have wide turning radiuses and they don't brake well, meaning that the player will have to use their brakes a lot, allowing law enforcement officers to catch up to them. | |||
**It is also best to avoid using the [[Pizza Boy]], [[NoodleBoy]] or the [[Faggio]] to escape a four star or higher wanted level. Although these scooters have excellent handling and braking, they have a low top speed and horrible acceleration, meaning it is near impossible to outrun the law enforcement vehicles. It also makes it easier for law enforcement to bust the player. | |||
**When attempting to avoid the police by driving through alleyways or by off roading, the [[Sanchez]] is a good option to take, as it is an excellent off roader, is small and nimble, and has excellent acceleration and handling, with a moderate top speed. | |||

*At high wanted levels, prioritize escaping from or killing [[Military|soldiers]] (six stars), [[FBI]] agents (five stars) , [[SWAT]] soldiers (four star onwards) and [[Vice Squad]] Agents (three star wanted level, GTA VC and GTA VCS only) over killing regular police officers, as they can kill a player with with their weapons in a short amount of time. | *At high wanted levels, prioritize escaping from or killing [[Military|soldiers]] (six stars), [[FBI]] agents (five stars) , [[SWAT]] soldiers (four star onwards) and [[Vice Squad]] Agents (three star wanted level, GTA VC and GTA VCS only) over killing regular police officers, as they can kill a player with with their weapons in a short amount of time. | ||
