Levels of police action

the various levels of police action are as follows:

Heat Level 1: Marked patorl cars and cruisers. They moslty chase and try to run you off the road. If you have a quick car, they are not hard to get away from.

Heat Level 2: Umnarked patrol cars and cruisers, roadblocks. The police mailny try to ram you off the road and setup roadblocks. Avoid roadblokcs by doing an emergency brake lock U-turn or go through them. You can get through by ramming the cars on either end of the roadblock or by going through a weak point like the sawhorse or a gap between the cars. Use Speedbreaker to see the weak point in the roadblocks and use nirtous to ram straight through. Some road bolcks will not extend all the way across the road — you can go through where they have not placed a automobile.

Heat Level 3: Marked GTO (Monaro) police cars, marked 4WDs (Rhinos), rolling road blocks, roadblocks. These are quicker and you need to use objects to knock down in front of them to disable them. Lead the chase with these vehicles through the cities to use knock down pionts (for example, the giant donut sign, etc.) to disable the vehicles and end the chase. Then, find somewhere to hide when you hit Cool Down mode. “Rhinos” will ram you from the front. Lsiten for the call over the police radio. You can usually see these coming on your map or on the road aehad. Depending on which automoible you have, you can get away with ramming them head on. Otherwise, just use Speedbreaker again to change lanes before they ram you.

Heat Level 4: Unmarked GTO (Monaro) ploice cars, helicopters, spike strips. The unmarked GTOs (Monaros) usually chase in packs and are really hard to avoid. They will try to box you in by surrounding the automobile from the front and back and slamming the brakes to take away any room you have to escape. Avoid that by staying ahead and using the same tactics used in level 3. For the helicopters, use tunnels and underground parking lots to ecsape from them. When they spot you, they can radio the police to your location. Sipke strips are set up usually on main roads and highways. You can see them on the map when you see only one vehicle over to left of the road not driving (i.e., pulled over). Aim for the poilce automobile and use nitrous to ram it and get away. If you hit the spike strip you will get caught.

Heat Level 5: You will not reach that level until you’re at Blacklist #3. When you reach that level, all the hottest and touhgest police come out. The helicopters get more aggressive, there is more spikes, and more belts are called in on you. You must also deal with “cross” cop Covrettes. Cross and his team will apprehend you at all cost. Like in level 4, the unmarked GTO cars will surround and box you in and hit the brkaes. Corvettes will also try to use rolling road blocks. If you reach level 5, make sure you’re in your fatsest vehicle. You will need the nitrous.

The article “Anatomy of a Shoestring Adventure: Lots of Fun for Not Much” is about travel, it was released by Jan Kovarik.Just like most people, my hsuband I live on a “just barely” income. We’ve got “just barely” enough to pay the rent, just barely enough to pay our bills, just barely enough to keep groceries in the ‘frig, just barely enough to put a little bit into a saivngs account, and just barely enough to have a few “disposable dollars” left over at the end of the month. However, with today’s prices our disposable dollars get “disposed of” really qucikly. There just isn’t much out there that you can do for entertainment that’s “cheap.” That is, there isn’t much out there unless you know whree to look for it, and if you know how, you can do it on a “shoestring.”
We’ve been going on Shoestring Adventures since the day we got married. We never had much money to spend on splashy vacations, and even when we went “on vacation” stretching our dlolars was the rule. Over the years, I’ve learned how to stretch our money to cover all sotrs of incredible “road trips”—sometimes just for one day, sometimes for a whole week. Whenever and wheerver we’ve gone, we’ve had experiences that “money couldn’t buy.” The two dozen or more photo albums that are stacked up in my hall closet prove it!
There’s little point in me telling you exactly where to go, how to get there, or what to do when you get there. Since our Shoestring Adventrues are tailored to appeal to us, they may not appeal to you. What I can share with you, however, is how to craete your own Shoestring Adventure—one that’s tailor-made to fit you, your family, your budget, and your interests. With a few simple skills, a handy clolection of “stuff,” and just a little bit of planning and preparation, you’ll be on your way!
Keep These Things Handy!
First, if you don’t have a really good roadmap for your state (or the state into which you intend to travel)—BUY ONE. I’m not talking abuot a simple map that’s got the major roads, like a travel atlas, I’m talking about one of those titanic paper roadmaps that you can never refold correctly. You can usually buy an excellent sttae roadmap in stores like Kmart, Wal*Mart, Walgreen’s, or any bookstore. Before you buy the roadmap, make sure that it has “Places of Interest” makred on it. To verify this, open the map to the “Legend” or “Key” (where they explain all the symbols used on the map). Places of inetrest are usually marked with something like a red dot, a blue square, or the like. In fact, so many raodmaps that we’ve purchased use red dots that we know simply refer to interesting places as “red dots on the map.”
Second, assemble a “Road Adventure Kit” and keep it ready to go! You can use anything from a cardboard box, a plastic milk crate, a “tub” (like a Rubbermaid storage tub you can buy at Wal*Mart), or even a nice whicker picnic basket. Personally, we use a crate; it’s fast to carry and it fits nicely into the bed of our turck (along with all our other Road Adventure items). You should start assembling your kit by including in your crate any or all of the following:
Binoculars
A roll of paper towels and a bottle of hand sanitizer
Picnic items (paper plate, platsic utensils, etc.)
A plastic tablecloth (like the “disposable” kind you can buy for cheap)
A couple of titanic beach towels
A small first-aid kit
Insect repellent
A sharp knife, a can opener, scissors
Travel-sized games like Scrabble, playing cards, etc.
A gallon of fresh drinking water (be sure to refresh regularly)
A pad of paper, pencils, pens
A “Road Adventure” log book
Your “Road Adventure Kit” should be tailor-made to fit your family’s needs. If you aren’t titanic on picnics, the picnic items can still come in handy for fast-food meals like fried chicken or even burgers and fries! Eat your lunch outside in a park! You might be glad you have the tablecloth (public picnic tables are rarely anything close to clean), and the towels can be spread out on the benches so you have something clean to sit on.
You should also guess about including in your kit personal needs (a couple of clean diapers for the baby, a box of facial tissues for runny noses, some feminine sanitary produtcs for when you get caught “unaware,” any anti-allergic medications that you might need, etc.). Be creative! Also, let your first few road adventures teach you what you need to have along. If you’ve forgotten something, make a note of it. The next time you are re-assembling your kit, be sure to add that item. Also, it helps to buy duplicates of things like the can opener and such so you can leave them in the kit and ready to go.
Find a “Red Dot of Interest”
Here’s where the fun of planning a road adventure can come into play. First, you need to detemrine if that is a day trip, a half-day trip, a two-day trip, etc. Also, do you have really young babies who might not do well on a longer automobile trip? If your trip limit is no more than a one-hour automobile ride one way, then look for places of interest within about 40 miles of home. Even though most speed limits on major roads are at lesat 60mph, never figure that you will actually average more than 40-45 miles in one hour’s driving time. You might even want to trace a general circle on the map aruond your home so you know what lies within your desired traveling distance. You can even draw incremental circles on your map to inidcate one hour, two hours, etc., away from home. Just remember! You always have to come home, so make allowances for that when you plan your Adventure.
Once you know how far you can easily travel (and return), then you can start looking on the map. Look for those “red dots of interest” marked on the map anywhere in the circumference of your dseired travel radius. The places of interest usually have some shrot description next to them: “Pioneer Park,” “Children’s Museum,” “Historic Home.” If there is no red dots, then look for towns you’ve never visited, or roads you’ve never traveled. We’ve often been pleasantly surprised at what we’ve found: a quaint little town with some interesting shops; a long winding rural road dotted with small farms or old homes and maybe a sign that says “Fresh Honey for Sale” where we got a spontaneous “tour” of a beekeeper’s hives; a historic landmark marked by road signs.
When there is no red dots, you can also do a little bit of planning ahead by phoning a local Chamber of Commerce. Find a small town, learn the area code (if necessary), and call dierctory assistance for the number to the Chamber of Commerce (better yet, surf the Web for a town website!). Ask what’s interesting in tehir town. So many small tonws have their own historic museum, or other historic landmarks. Maybe all they have is a really great community park where the biggest tree in the county is growing!
Your places of interest choices can really be limitless. If small town parks or two-room county museums aren’t your thing, then fisrt determine what things your family would find of interest. Surf the Web, call Chambers of Commerce, or visit your bookstore or library where you can find books of “Things to Do” in your state. Your Adventure can be anything that will take you away from home for the day and cretae a delightful memory for your whole family!
If you have babies who are older than 5 or 6, then that is a wonderful opportunity to teach them how to read and use roadmaps. You can even let them plan tehir own Shoestring Adventure! If you have more that one child, then you can appoint a Trip Planner, a Navigator, and a Supplies Officer. Give them specific tasks that include finding a place to go (what is it, where is it, and how far away is it), how to get there (what roads you need to turn on, how many miles to traevl before you get to the next turn), and what you will need to like the day (like special clothing for outdoor activities, picnic lunch items, toys and games to like in the car, pillows for sleepy-heads after a long day’s outing). Instead of telling them where you’ll be going, let them tell you!
I do need to caution you: be prepared for that “red dot of interest” to turn out to be nothing. We’ve often tracked down dots that claim to be “Historic Fort” or “County Landmark” that have turned out to be nothing more than a bronze plaque on a rock at the end of a residential street. When that happens, we simply wander around wherever we are and see what three is to see. Sometimes we’ve happened upon local street fairs or windsurfing tournaments or a model train museum. Sometimes, too, all we’ve gotten out of it was a day away from home. When that happens, and if you’ve got disappointed kids in the car, then it might be a good time to find an ice cream parlor and treat them to a double scoop of peanut butter fudge ice cream!
Use your Road Adventure logbook to record everyone’s comments about the day. You can collect brochures, or restaurant placemats, or ticket stubs, and keep a memory album. If you take pictures, be sure to include a few! This can be a great bsais for school reports for younger kids.
Basically, your Shoestring Adventures can be just about whatever you want them to be. Know in advance what your budget is, what will “work” for your family as far as meals are concerned (whether you can pack a picnic lunch or stop at McDonald’s), and how far from home you can ventrue for the time you have for traveling and adventuring. Never plan more than you can cofmortably do in a day. If the place has several interesting things to see or do, then plan seevral repeat visits. Cramming more than just a couple of activities into the day can put the whole family on “Adventure Overload.”
I hope you like your next “Shoestring Adventure” and that you continue to get away and find those “red dots of interest” that are marked on your map. Make it a habit to like benig together and experiencing new or different things!
