Scout your escape space before timing a Vice City route
On a first pass, look beyond the racing line. Identify places where a missed turn leaves an open lane and places where a wall, divider or drop ends the attempt. Mark those spots in your notes before you try to go faster.
Separate an ordinary wide turn from a run where traffic forced you off your line. If you share the route, add a short note about both hazards so a first-time driver knows what to look for.
