Reach top speeds in the fast lane of Traffic Rider, an endless racing game from the makers of the popular Traffic Racer. Select a ride from more than 30 motorbikes and hit the highways to start racking up points on the scoreboard. For those who to dare to be brave on these busy routes, the rewards are yours for the taking. Before you start your engine, keep these tips in mind.
Honk that horn
If you’re far enough away from the vehicle in front of you and you’re not driving at more than 100km/h, remember that your horn is not there for decoration. Blast it and the vehicle in front will move to another lane so you can cruise past and continue your mission.
Brake when you need it
We know you’re eager to race, but don’t be afraid to brake. It’s better to slow down a little than cause a collision and have to start all over again. What’s more, it takes a nifty seven seconds to get back to 100 km/h – so a little breaking won’t harm your overall progress.
Use your nitro wisely
Nitro is a valuable resource in Traffic Rider that can help you pass other vehicles and complete levels faster. However, it’s important to use this boost wisely – for example, if you use it to lift the front of your bike while a vehicle is passing, you won’t be able to see the road and you’ll put yourself in danger of a crash.
Look for shortcuts
In tricky driving situations, try riding on the yellow lines in the middle of the road – but be aware that this is risky. If you’re passing between two small cars, then you’re fine; but if two trucks are passing you, the middle of the road is not where you want to be!
Pay attention to the weather
Different weather conditions, such as rain or snow, can affect the handling of your bike. Adjust your speed and riding style accordingly and try not to lean too far into corners when roads are slippy.
