Description
Assume the identity of undercover cop Tanner and sell your services as a driver-for-hire to the highest bidder in order to infiltrate a powerful crime ring.
Screech through sun drenched Miami, speed over the hills of San Francisco, slide across the rain drenched streets of Los Angeles or cause chaos in the hustle and bustle of New York.
Mission over? Sit back, relax, re-live those glorious handbrake turns and wave goodbye to the cops again and again in the unbelievable 'film director' editing feature, reproducing you own classic 70's car chase movies.
Driver's true-to-life modelling of automobile physics, ultra-realistic environments, cutting-edge graphics and revolutionary replay mode allow users to experience the most elaborate, realistic interactive driving experience.

Hints & Cheats
These hints and cheats have been gathered from the old sold-out.co.uk and mastertronic.com websites via the Wayback Machine. I haven't personally tested them all, but since they appeared on the official sites back in the day, they should be pretty reliable.
Speed Hint - Red Car
Get the red car (Jaguar I think) turn on railroad cops, have them ram you out on the Miami beach side (east) get lined up just right, and your on your way to 446 MPH.
Carnage Mode Replay Trick
Go onto carnage mode in Driving games and complete the carnage game. When your time has run out save your replay. Now back to the main menu and then watch the replay. Take a drive and any car you hit will be sent over the horizon, including cops.
Unlock all cheats (hack)
To get all cheats edit the file
DRIVER\DATA\MLADDER.DML (WARNING- BACKUP that file first so if you mess it up you can still play the game) delete everything above "#President render RENDER 70" except the header. Then start the game as normal choose a new game and credits will come up along with a video to the left. Press ESC and go to cheats and there they are.
300+ MPH Speed Hint
I find how to go to 300+ miles per hour. Choose the Jaguar or other super fast cars and choose from the cheat menu Super Fast cars. Start the game and go to an alone street and accelerate using Control Cruise and burn out, in just a few seconds the front of the car should be up and you will loose control of the car. If you maintain the car straight at the beginning you should reach the 300+ miles.
227 MPH Speed Trick
I've just found out, how to go 227 Mph:
In cheat menu choose super fast cars and freight train.
Then go with any car to New York , to the longest street through the entire city. Then, at 100 -120 use Cruise control and at about 200 use burn-out as well. Than you can each 227 Mph easily.

Go to the driving game section then get a high score. Enter the cheat.

Easy getaway
When you are wanted and you see a cop in front of you, drive up behind him. He will see you in his rear-view mirror and turn around to try to get you. If timed correctly, you can try to get the cop to crash into a tree or obstacle to get a great opportunity to get away.
Complete the Training mission
Can't complete the Training mission in Driver for the PC, but want to play the game? Easy.
Make a copy of the file DRIVER\DATA\MLADDER.DML first!
Edit the DRIVER\DATA\MLADDER.DML file in Notepad or a similar text editor.
Remove the two lines:
INTERVIEW
QUITONFAIL
Save the file, then you can start Driver and go straight to the missions!!
Game Tip
An easy way too get a head start on a cop chance is when you come up behind a cop he can see you from his mirror and when he see you doing something wrong he will turn around like a U turn to try to catch you, so when you come up behind a cop look for a tree or pool and then do a violation on the side the pool or tree is on so when he turns to get you he will crash into it.
Driving Tips
Whenever possible, drive on the sidewalks. It'll keep the cops off you, and you won't have to worry about oncoming traffic.
When driving in San Francisco , use the cable cars to lose the cops; they'll often slam into each other.
Keep an eye out for alleys and parking garages--these are great places to lose the police.
Bonus city
Successfully complete the game once to unlock a hidden city.

Add any combination of these in a space following the "FelonyBarId 195" line:

Snowing (doesn't seem to do anything, but loads as a valid argument)
Change your car
Replace the "0" (zero) in "PlayerCarType 0" to one of the following numbers:
0 - Original Car
1 - Crew Cab Pickup
2 - "Luxury"/Pimp Coupe
3 - Sports Coupe

Disable the "Lose The Tail" mission
Delete or comment out the following lines (Note: These are scattered throughout the file, with important stuff in-between, so don't just delete everything!):
SetMaximumCops 0
Cops_off
Cop_Respawn 65000
Cops_Immortal 0
//SpawnCops 1, 3067, 45609, 441019

MissionEnd
Disabling the Lose The Tail will enable "prowling" cops.
Set the number of cops you wish to have chasing you by changing the number in the line "SetMaximumCops 1" (I find three is a pretty good number), or disable cops by changing "Cops_on" to "Cops_off".
You can also add the line: "CopWipeOutDamage 7000" to set the amount of damage it takes to destroy a Cop Cruiser (If this line is not present, it takes about one solid head-on crash to destroy a cop).
Place a "trigger cop"
Allows you to drive freely without -any- cop intervention until activated. To enable this, do -not- delete the line:
"AddCivCar 9,0,1,0,3067, 45609, 441019"
This will cause an inactive police cruiser to be placed directly behind your starting position, who will remain inactive unless provoked, thereby activating -all- of the cops.
Reach 204mph
First of all select the Jaguar (Car type 16).
Start game as normal, find a nice long road, build up speed to around 100-110mph.
Release the accelerator (And Burn Out if you're using it).
Hold down the cruise control key (C I think is the default).
Instead of slowing down to cruise speed (30-40mph), your car will carry on speeding up, past its usual 178mph or so, we hit 204mph, but we ran out of road (Ouch that wall hurt), maybe you can get more out of it!
Choose Cities
This is kind of what you do for the skip training mission. You do the same thing except you click at the very top where it says [MIAMI] all you have to do is delete Miami and put in [SF] or [NY] and you can drive around in New York or San Francisco its pretty cool try it
Choose Your Car
Finish the game once and get to choose your car when you take a ride
325 MPH Speed Hint
I have just found out how to go 325 mph. Choose the Jaguar car and put on the cheats freightrain and superfast cars and start the game.
When you get to a lone street, just go for it. Make sure you start the car off straight because you will lose control of the car.
Tree Jump Glitch
Find trees and a jump next to the trees. Line up with the jump heading to the trees. Press burnout and reverse. Let go of reverse when you are close to the jump. You should go through the trees. If you don't go through the trees keep trying. This sometimes works for water.
Notes
- Multiple Spelling mistakes in the game description.
- Min HDD space seems low.
