NPCs in the game are dumb. Sometimes they cross street on red lights or they cross street to the other side than turn and go back!

Some cars run red lights or brakes/stop unnecessarily. Or they stops during turning because they are close to other cars. Even when cars turn into multiple lanes.

BUT ONLY HITTING PEDESTRIANS WILL CANCLE your ride.

In the game setting you can reduce trafic, cars, pedestrians etc! if you want :)

You can´t go to garage or tank fuel / wash your car during current task/ ride!
You can only call emergeny servicies for fuel etc.

Beginner's Luck

Total: 95 000 XP to REP 30

Later in the game take only long rides or long VIP rides (with skill for that - VIP and long rides skill ) for more reputation and more kilometers. (I started around reputation 20.)

For me the best way was taking VIP long trips. If I show them more than requested landmarks, i got around 1000xp from one route.

These two achievements can be done during one VIP route.

Scenic Sampler
During the ride, show the tourist 6 scenic viewpoints.


Panorama Perfectionist
During the ride, show the tourist 15 scenic viewpoints.


These 2 spots are tricky. Don´t set waypoint to the them (blue line). You can´t see them from there.
The best option is to ride directly to them.. However, this is a pedestrian zone with a lot of civilians, so drive slowly.




















Waypoints are not always ideal. Many scenic viewpoints can be seen from a greater distance or from the other side of the road.

---

Star-Studded Service
Complete a tourist course with a 5-star rating.


Touring Tycoon
Earn 5000 euros through tourist courses.

If you are near a police vehicle and commit a violation, you will receive a penalty.
However, fines are not always calculated at all. I drove at high speed through almost the entire city and didn't get a single ticket. Another time I got all the fines.

As long as you don't hit a pedestrian, it won't bother you too much.





PATIENCE

• waiting time (arrival)
  
• driving faster than speed limit
  
• hitting cars/ things
  
• driving through the red light

Also don´t foget to check your fuel/battery before taking another ride. You can call emergency sevices to refill your tank but it will delay your ride!


INTEREST
During VIP routes keep the interest high. You can show them other landmarks than requested.

Hitting pedestrians -> cancel ride!
