Be Aggressive, B-E Aggressive
In Most Wanted, it helps to be a bit aggressive. Criterion did a wonderful job balancing the AI so that it's competitive during events but not to the point where they'll continuously dominate and rob you of a first place victory. You'll have to find openings necessary to jet ahead, either using a turbo boost filled up after drifts and driving in oncoming traffic or from someone's unfortunate crash on the road.
It helps to show some aggression: like Burnout Paradise (and the other Burnout games before it, starting with Takedown on PS2 and Xbox) you're rewarded for crashing other drivers. Plowing them into girders, walls and other objects actually nets you some helpful boost power, which lets you keep your lead when you're running neck-and-neck against someone else. What's more, rubbing someone from behind with boost gives you the vital speed needed to throw them off. (This is also quite useful in multiplayer. Beware that what goes around comes around – those crashed racers will be looking for you.)
Busting Through Speed Traps
The game also encourages you to show your competitive side against the police. You wouldn't (or shouldn't) do these things in real life, but in Fairhaven the goal of the game is to be king of the road, even towering over the local police force. Ramming cops into walls and breaking through road blocks is just part of the fun. You don't want to be too straightforward in your assault on road blocks, because sometimes you'll have to contend with spike strips. Hit one too hard and you'll lose speed as your tires grind down. You won't stop completely, but you will lose the advantage against competitors.
So when you approach road blocks or encounters with police, try to avoid the sudden stops or anything that looks like it would do damage. Watch out for those helpful openings on the sides or with the small space between cars where spikes aren't set up and bust your way through. If you do manage to get your tires snared, drive through a repair shop and continue on your way, though it's better to try and keep them in one piece to begin with.
As for the sudden stop rule, if you linger too long the cops will bust you. If the cops are on your tail or you're thrown off your route, consider using your handbrake and spinning around in the opposite direction to throw them off. There are also a number of shortcuts in Most Wanted, most coming from jump ramps. Stick with these and sometimes you can shake off a cop in oncoming traffic. Other times, you'll just need to be speedy.
